Chest pain: heart attack or gastritis?

Heart attack and Gastritis (heartburn) both cause chest pain. So, people often get confused the two whenever they feel some kind of pain in their chest. Knowing the difference between the two can save the people from any potential disaster.

We can know whether we are suffering from gastritis or having a heart attack by observing the following symptoms.

Gastritis:

The burning sensation caused by gastritis starts from the upper part of the stomach. Gradually, this burning sensation radiates up to the chest. In some cases, the acid even rises up to the level of the mouth. In such cases, one also feels a sour taste and burning sensation in the throat.

Heart Attack:

A heart attack involves a sudden pain in the centre or the left side of the chest. The pain is accompanied by an uncomfortable sensation. This sensation can either be squeezing or pressure.

Along with the chest, one also feels discomfort in the shoulders, neck, back, or even jaw. Since the heart starts malfunctioning during a heart attack, one also feels weak or faint during it. Different people experience different symptoms of a heart attack. Some might feel mild pain in the chest, while others might feel severe pain in the chest during a heart attack.

This VDO is helpful in differentiating between heart attack pain and gastritis pain.
