I SHOULD ADD, In 2006, when I started having heart pains it felt like someone was stabbing me in the heart with an ice pick.
The doctor said it was probably just heartburn or indigestion, so nothing was done except giving me “nitro tablets”. The pains did not go away.
A look at the family history showed several ancestors died of “acute indigestion.”
I now bet they all died of heart attacks caused by blocked arteries.
SO, A WARNING! If you suddenly start having what feels like stabs in the heart and they say “heartburn”, get another opinion with x rays and dyes fast! It just might not be heartburn but an actual blocked artery.
Add stabs in the shoulders and Jaw are indicative of heart attack.
