It feels like a dull pain in and around my heart. Like I just got punched in the gut, but like, in the heart area.
I did have some jalopenos with my nachos during the Cards game.. I wonder if that did it.

Heartburn is a pain behind the breast bone, often described as ‘burning’ in quality. Pain can also be felt at the same level in the mid-line of the back. Most people suffer from heartburn at one time or another. In fact heartburn has nothing to do with the heart - it is a digestive problem. Heartburn is generally related to meals and posture and can often be relieved by remedies for indigestion.
Pain from the heart is also felt in the chest and sometimes in the upper abdomen. There are two kinds of heart pain. The first, angina, is a pain in the chest due to a temporary shortage of oxygen being carried in the blood to the heart muscle. Angina should be suspected if the chest pain is brought on by exercise and relieved by rest. The second is the more severe and prolonged pain of a heart attack. A heart attack should be suspected if the pain is felt intensely in the centre of the chest, spreading perhaps to one or both arms (especially the left) and into the lower jaw; or feels like a heavy pressure or is ‘vice-like’.
Potentially dangerous confusion can arise when someone neglects their heart pain believing it to be heartburn.
Hmmm... maybe I should go get me some tums

My stupid stomach has been horrible lately. Anytime I eat any kind of cheese, full sugar soda, guacamole or hardly anything spicy, I get heartburn and lots of internal pain. It really sucks! I have found that tums doesn't work worth crap for me. I keep Pepcid AC in my purse at all times now!!!! That stuff works great, for me!
Sorry you have heartburn. It really sucks, I know.

CQ - I just went out and bought some tums... I also bought pepcid complete.
I figure I'd try to the TUMS and see what happens. I've noticed I've had this pain before, but with my stepbrother's heart trouble, I've become more aware of it.
I'm sure it's just a small case of heartburn. No more jalapenos for me!

I'm absolutly sure it's NOT the jalepenos! I would refrain from watching ANY more Cardinals games the rest of the year and see if the haertburn ceases.

I still have a gut feeling Shaq will be better next season (2008/2009) after our docs have a full off season to work their magic on the Big Saguaro!
Be careful on this, Kate. I had bad acid reflux for years - popped Tums all the time. Ended up finally going to doctor, on Nexium now (no more Tums needed).

Stupid new health plan doesn't cover Nexium. Have to find a substitute
