Maalox - yukkkkk! - That stuff makes me sick. And I mean throwing up sick.

I wouldn't want to alarm you, but I've always heard that a heart attack, when happening to a woman, will not necessarily feel the same as one that is happening to a man (e.g. pain on left side of chest, radiating down the left arm). In women it can be an all over chest pain/tightening sort of thing.

If you didn't get relief from Pepcid (which always works for me) and don't get relief soon from the prescription, you really should probably get that checked out. The continuing "serious pain" along with the chest tightening would really concern me.

Please let us know how you are.
