Okay, this has all the characteristics of indigestion and/or reflux.

It is quite true that people with anxiety cannot ignore symptoms, for they firmly believe that the moment they do, it will be the one time when it's real. This simply isn't within the realm of possibility and you don't have benign symptoms one day and pathological ones the next.

If these symptoms persist more than 72 hours, then I would recommend that you follow up with your doctor, but in the meantime you can use over-the-counter products to ease your discomfort. Proton pump inhibitors work very well to reduce excess acid, but you must take them on an empty stomach at least 45 minutes or so before consuming a meal. I would also need for you to tell me what, if any, medications you are taking at present.

You need to set aside fears about pectoral angina as a prelude to a heart attack. It simply doesn't work that way and your letting your fears run away with you. I realize that we're about to ring in the New Year, but you should consider limiting your alcohol intake and eat lightly if you are experiencing indigestion.

You'll be fine. Again, monitor your symptoms and if they become significantly worse or persist more than 72 hours, then contact your primary care physician or specialist. The over-the-counter medications will be fine to take in order to gain relief.

Best regards and Good Health
