pain in chest and stomach

[ginanutter4]

I was woken up late last night with severe chest and stomach pain,My arms did'nt hurt and I could breath ok,It hurt to breath in and I was imobile for about 5 mins,the pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack,I've experienced gas and I thought that's what it was until it went into my chest,I've never felt pain like that before,having 2 babies was'nt as bad as that was,after about 15 mins it slowly eased up,I took 2 rolaids and a beno,but today I still have a dull acheing in my chest,could this be just gas or something else??

My guess is gas because it has happened to me. People usually think that digestive upsets are caused by too much stomach acid. Half the time this is not the case. It can be too little stomach acid causing a sluggish digestion. I resolved my condition by taking one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar just before eating. It worked like magic.

I would get it checked out anyway , make you feel better .it could be Gerd /acid reflux  can be very painful.was it towards the right ,under the ribcage and up into back , could be gall bladder attack.
