    GERD/ANXIETY/HEART ATTACK???

    Can someone please help me? I really don't want to go to the ER here and waste hours at our local band aid facility to find out that I have anxiety or Gerd. But I have been having severe pains in the center of my chest and upper back since broad daylight this morning. The pain comes and goes. It lasts for about 10 to 15 min then goes away. I never know when it will come back. Could be hours or minutes. Seems to be getting more frequent now. The pain is so severe I can't even breath. I feel like my throat is closed and I start getting hot. Like its happening right now. In my breastbone in the center. I am a 39 year old female. Diabetic, high blood pressure, high triglyserites, gerd, bi polar with anxiety and over weight! I am scared but don't want to go to the ER unless need be because our local hospitals aren't the best here and most have no clue and misdiagnosis you.

    Do not delay, get medical attention now. Most people deny that they are having a heart attack. Every second (Really) of delay causes more damage, not just to the heat but to the brain as well. Please don't wait. You can start treatment by chewing two aspirin then drinking water. Get help now.
