heart disease symptoms in women? I recently had an intense bout of indigestion, accompanied with some pain around my heart. I started on probiotics just over a week ago and symptoms have all but disappeared. I have scheduled blood tests and appointment with my doctor. I am 70 with no outstanding health problems or medications at this time. I am low on vitamin d, and am currently taking a prescription dosage. I expect my cholesterol is higher now, I have cut back on exercise about 2 months ago, but plan to start up again ( water exercises and yoga, and walking have been my major forms of exercise.)
