A member asked:
Is there a way to distinguish between a heartburn or chest pain from a mild heart attack?

Difficult sometimes: I presume hiatal hernia. The symptoms can be very similar that is why we have testing. Discuss with your doctor. Keep, track of time, place, severity, stimulating events for your discomfort. Usually a heart attack will really get your attention.
