A member asked:

What can you do to tell the difference between heart problems and acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes u cant: "heart burn" typically occurs after meals, worse in supine position, described as a "burning", "gnawing symptom that is associated with dyspepsia symptoms in the epigastric region. Heart "angina" typically occurs with activity, resolves with rest, and is described more as a tightness in the upper chest area, sometimes radiating down the left arm. Symptoms can intertwine often.
