Heart Attack vs Acidity: Key Signs to Recognize
Heart attacks can often be mistaken for acidity, leading to dangerous delays in treatment. Dr. Jivitesh Satija highlights that symptoms like chest discomfort can be misleading. While acidity usually follows meals and eases with antacids, a heart attack can occur at rest, lasts longer, and worsens with activity. Key signs include radiating pain, breathlessness, and sweating. Ignoring these symptoms can be fatal. Recognizing the difference is crucial, as timely intervention can save lives. Don't hesitate—act quickly if you suspect a heart issue.
