Title: Heart Attack vs Gas Pain – How to Tell the Difference
Why Interventional Cardiologists Like Dr. Girish Kale Are Revolutionizing Heart Care
Chest pain is frightening — but not all chest pain is a heart attack. However, ignoring warning signs can be dangerous.
Dr. Girish Kale, a leading cardiologist in Nashik, explains the key differences.
Signs of Heart Attack:
- Heavy pressure or tightness in chest
- Pain radiating to left arm, jaw, or back
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating and nausea
- Pain lasting more than 10–15 minutes
Signs of Gas/Acidity:
- Burning sensation
- Pain relieved after burping
- Worse after heavy meals
- Temporary discomfort
If unsure, always seek emergency evaluation. An ECG and cardiac test can quickly confirm the cause.
Dr. Kale advises: Never self-diagnose chest pain. Early treatment saves heart muscle and lives.
