Heart Attack In Men Sign #2: Upper Abdominal Pain or Indigestion
Some cases of heart attack can be mistaken for indigestion or upper abdominal pain. The pain is felt in the upper abdomen or the epigastric region, the same area where heartburn occurs. It feels like heaviness or discomfort rather than a sharp or stabbing pain.
Many patients mistake it for indigestion because they experience burping as well. Patients who exhibit these symptoms and have other risk factors for a heart attack, such as increased age, male gender, obesity, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, should seek medical attention.
