🚨 Pain radiating to the left shoulder, neck, jaw, shoulder blade, left arm.
🚨 Heart palpitations, shortness of breath, panting, sweating, cold hands and feet.
🚨 Chest pain that worsens with exertion or walking.
🚨 Dizziness, nausea, vomiting.

Symptoms of heartburn:

🚨 Chest pain when breathing deeply.
🚨 Feeling a burning sensation in the middle of the chest, under the epigastrium, back up to the throat.
🚨 Frequent burping, frequent coughing, nausea, feeling of a bitter taste in the throat and mouth.
🚨 Symptoms worsen after eating or laying down.

For anyone experiencing chest pain unsure if it's caused by heart disease or gastrointestinal issues, do not hesitate to see a doctor immediately. Timely examination, treatment, and diagnosis are crucial to prevent risks and detect abnormalities signaling early signs of heart disease. It is recommended to have regular ECG tests at least once per year. AIA Vitality members aged 40 years and over, after an ECG or EKG examination, can submit evidence through the AIA+ application to earn 1,000 AIA Vitality points per membership year.
