People can very often write off the first signs of heart attack as nothing more than acid reflux. But as you know, waiting too long to act may cost you your life.

At the same time, you don’t want to ‘cry wolf’ every time you experience minor chest pain (although it’s always better to be too cautious than to risk death).

That’s why in today’s feature article I’m going to tell you about three clear symptoms that differentiate heartburn from heart attack.

1) When Does the Pain Hit?

We’ve all experienced this at some point: You have a big meal, you lie down and all of a sudden this burning sensation hits you. This is most likely heartburn rather than heart attack.

Opposite to heartburn, heart attack usually happens during some kind of physical activity and rarely while resting. As well, suffering from a heart attack rarely has anything to do with the meal you had that day, while acid reflux often happens shortly after consuming trigger foods (or quantities).

2) Where Does the Pain Hit?

Burning sensation in the throat, often with a bitter taste in the back of the mouth is a clear sign of acid reflux. Whereas pain in the chest, neck, shoulders and jaw is a sign of heart attack.

3) How Does the Pain Hit?

Are you experiencing sweating, feeling of faintness, lightheadedness and shortness of breath? These symptoms, especially when associated with any kind of chest pain are red flags; don’t wait, call 911 now! These are not symptoms of heartburn but much more likely the beginning of a heart attack.

These three guidelines are, of course, nothing more than general tips and should not be used as a diagnostic tool. You should always lean towards the side of caution – if in doubt, call the ambulance or at least your family doctor’s urgent care line. Don’t drive yourself because if you’re actually having heart attack, you can get the necessary first aid in the ambulance- and you shouldn’t put others at risk since loss of consciousness frequently accompanies heart attack.

You may also take into consideration your personal history. If you’ve suffered a heart attack before, are over the age of 50 or have a family history of heart attack or stroke, you’ll want to be even more aware or your risk.

However, if you suffer heartburn regularly, you know the feeling. But you definitely also want to treat that problem.
