> I went recently to the ER with chest pain and shortness of breath that had lasted for some time (and I was 61). They found nothing wrong. Maybe a panic attack? I don't know. They didn't know. It happens.
> Sometimes it is stomach related, especially if it's short lived. I frequently get severe chest pain with pain in my jaw and shoulder. The first time it happened, I was trapped in heavy traffic (pre cell phones) and sure I was going to die of a heart attack. Then I burped loudly and the pain stopped. This happens to me regularly, every couple of weeks and I know now to gulp water until I burp. Apparently, air bubbles can get stuck in your esophagus.Hi Baseball55, The fact that my Troponin levels were elevated - a molecule that is released only upon injury to the heart, ruled out panic attack and/or heart burn. I suspected the Parnate may have something to do w/ the incident because I'm only 40 years old and have no known risk factors for a heart problem and my tests came back normal. Just trying to demystify the situation and ensure that it doesnt happen again.
