Q: Heart attack?

Yesterday, I took 3 pepcids for heart burn that would go away, then later my left hand became numb, my vision was strange I can't explain it, I thought I was going to pass out and though this my head acke become worse. This lasted for awhile then it seem to let up, I went to bed and woke up with all the same symptoms but stronger. I've been just laying on the sofa today thinking maybe I've had some kind of heart issue? I don't want to be a hypercondriack.

Hi Notsure,

 

I recommend consulting your physician for an evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms.  Here is a link to information on the signs/symptoms of a heart attack - http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/patient-guide-44510-6.html.

 

All the best,
