Esophageal spasm and heart attacks
Lately I've been kind of anxious about being able to recognize wether the pain I feel is a spasm or a heart attack. I worry that at some point when I'm older I'll shrug off a heart attack as a spasm, while needing medical attention.
People who have experienced both, is there a very clear difference, and when it happens will you know it's one or the other? Not every spasm feels the same either, there's light ones and last night I had one so bad it left me dizzy/nauseous and feeling like I'd faint.
