Chest discomfort can sometimes feel like indigestion or another stomach symptom. Sensation alone is not enough to rule out a heart problem.
Signs that need attention are chest pressure or heaviness, shortness of breath, cold sweat, dizziness, and pain that spreads to an arm, back, or jaw.
New, severe or persistent pain or pressure in the chest, sudden severe shortness of breath or fainting require immediate help: call 112 or 166. Do not wait for a reply to a message or a scheduled appointment.
For questions without urgent symptoms, talking to the doctor helps to assess the situation with clear guidance.
