Dr. Jerome Zacks answered

Specializes in Cardiology

GI or cardiac: Your mother merits a consultation with a gastroenterologist. The examination likely would entail a careful history, physical examination and probable upper endoscopy. That would likely provide the answer to her symptoms. If that proves normal, then a cardiac evaluation should pe pursued.
