dr oz says indigestion feeling can be heart attack instead of indigestion
You bet they can feel the same. that is why often times people don't go to the ER and end up having more problems than they would if they went to the ER for what they are calling indigestion.
You could try using whatever you use when you have indigestion to ease it but if it doesn't work quickly like it usually does… get your butt to the ER. Better safe than sorry.
My grandpap had indigestion that lasted a couple days… he laid down on the couch and never got back up… it was a heart attack.
One of the common old names for indigestion was "heart burn" and it is sometimes a similar symptom to heart trouble. Also symptoms of heart problems can be very similar to flu symptoms but if anyone has chest pains and/or a pain that runs down the left arm they should head for the ER.
