A member asked:

If a person, without past heart problems, has mild chest pain gone after two gulps of liquid maalox, how sure can one be that it's just heartburn?

Dr. Calvin Weisberger answered

Heartburn: The relief by the maalox suggests that it is acid related. If you are anxious relative to your heart, see your doctor a stress test could reassure your mind if necessary.
