Do not mistake the symptoms of heart attack. - Most people think if there is pain in chest or uneasiness in the stomach, it it's because of a gas problem. But the truth is heart attack or angina could happen in the same manner. Angina means that there is a shortage of blood supply to part of the heart muscle. It usually occurs on exertion and gets better if you take rest or a tablet of sorbitrate. But heart attack occurs only when there is a sudden and total occlusion of any coronary artery supplying blood to heart muscle. The best treatment of a heart attack is to re-establish blood supply to the heart muscle, either by urgent angioplasty or clot bursting medicine, and that too, as soon as possible. Any delay will damage the heart muscle permanently and the more the delay, the more is the damage any treatment after six hours of the onset of symptoms of heart attack is practically useless as most of the damage is done within six hours.

So, considering the symptoms of heart attack as gas is a blunder which many people in India still commit. Any delay in going to the hospital can cause a lot of damage to our heart. It is not so easy for a patient to differentiate between a genuine gastric problem vs the heart attack.
