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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
