there is always a possibility of it being a cardiac problem. you need to rule it out every single time you get such pain with an EKG atleast. i hope this episode is just a gastritis pain which should subside with plenty of water & antacids.

So that means every single time I have a pain (which is almost every other day) I need to go to the er or doctor...they'll think I'm nuts not to mention the co-payments alone will put me in the poor house. This is not good advice! I've just had a stress test, echocardiogram, 4ekg's blood work, 2 chest xrays, even wore a heart monitor for 24 hours....how could this still be heart related?
