Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I just ate some hot popcorn then laid down now I'm having heat burn and my left arm feel weird. But this isn't my first time feeling this way. I Google heart attack symptoms and it freaked me out so now im even more scared. Can i be having a heart attack, panic attack or just regular heart burns?
Regarding your concern, your symptoms seem to be related to gastro esophageal reflux or gastritis.
These disorders could also explain the feeling in your arm (irradiated pain).
I recommend consulting with yuor GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG, a chest x ray and a routine blood check up (fasting glucose, complete blood count, kidney and liver function test, blood electrolytes).
It is necessary to perform a gastro intestinal endoscopy to rule in/out the above mentioned disorders (gastro esophageal reflux, hiatal hernia or gastritis).
You should discuss with your attending physician on the above issues.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings!
Dr. Iliri
