Hello everyone. I'm ok. [View all]

I was given a cocktail of heartburn, reflux, antacid type pills and such and the pain subsided. Since the pain subsided, they determined everything was ok. I've had heartburn type episodes before but this felt different. Scared me quite a bit. But all vitals normal. I didn't mean to scare anyone but I got scared. I'm still going to do a follow up with my normal physician. I'm no spring chicken.
