It's not a heart attack, it's indigestion.

Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries. The coronary arteries bring blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, the heart starves for oxygen and heart cells die. Occasionally, sudden overwhelming stress can trigger a heart attack. Chest pain is a major symptom of heart attack. However, some people may have little or no chest pain, especially the elderly and those with diabetes. This is called a silent heart attack. The pain may be felt in only one part of the body or move from your chest to your arms, shoulder, neck, teeth, jaw, belly area, or back. The pain can be severe or mild. It can feel like: Squeezing or heavy pressure A tight band around the chest Something heavy sitting on your chest Bad indigestion Pain usually lasts longer than 20 minutes. Rest and a medicine called nitroglycerine do not completely relieve the pain of a heart attack. Other symptoms of a heart attack include: Shortness of breath Nausea or vomiting Anxiety Cough Fainting Lightheadedness - dizziness Palpitations (feeling like your heart is beating too fast) Sweating, which may be extreme So yes it could be stress. But there is a possibility that it could be something more serious. You should have her get checked out.

no you are not experiencing heart problems,it is exactly what you said gas pain. I strongly recommend gas X or milicon drops (used for infants)

It's possible that you could be having a problem with your gallbladder also. Only an examination by a doctor could tell you what it may be.

Don't eat fatty crap and do more intense aerobics! Take your multi vitamin.

I am not a physician, but please get checked by one. Walking is good for you, though, and I applaud you for that!
