IS THIS A SYMPTOM OF HEART ATTACK
I am a 37 years old female and I had a family history of heart attack. Yesterday night I had sever head ache and I took 2 aleeve. At 2am I felt heavyness on my center of my chest and also some burning sensation. The heavyness on my chest last for several minutes. Then I vomitted 3 times but still had the feeling of heavyness on my chest. Is that a heart attack.Please give me an answer.
Heart attacks dont usually cause vomiting. Anxiety and indigestion can cause vomiting, heart palpations, and the "heaviness" in your chest. Heartburn can occur when a person is laying down and acid reflux occurs.
I am glad that you know your family history of heart disease and I would urge you to get a physical exam as well as complete heart work-up. But also be aware of the fact that problems such as acid reflux and indigestion can mimic a heart attack. Be aware of your blood pressure, cholesterol numbers, weight, and other factors that contribute to heart disease and stroke.
I hope you are feeling better.
