      If it lasts/has lasted more than 24 hours, get to a doctor!

      I fought bad “heartburn” for 5 days. Turned out, I was having a heart attack. On day 5 the damage was already done and I had to have open heart surgery.

      Not that it means much, coming from a stranger on the internet, but I hope you get well soon.

      I’m sorry. Do you know why? I was having a lot of stomach probs, finally got into a GI and it was ulcers from taking nsaids. Meds, plus cutting back on aleve and alcohol helped.
