Keep getting checked out until satisfied. Make sure the heart is ruled out completely. Your EKGs and enzymes can be normal up until the very moment an infarct is occurring. I didn't stop until I was satisfied, and that persistance led to the discovery of an 80% blockage and of course I received a nice, new shiny stent. BTW, I wouldn't be considered very old. Hopefully, you're heart is fine, but don't give up until you know for sure. And a PVC can come about due to anxiety, which you're probably getting a little bit due to the pain and not knowing.

It is difficult to sort out GERD and angina.  I had chronic issues with both.  In my case, angina was a dull pressure which would increase with activity or strong emotions, and decrease when I stopped the activity, calmed down, or took nitro pills.  GERD pains were similar to what you described.
I'd ask for nitro tabs, and if/when you have the situation again, take one.  If the pain quickly goes away, you might have a heart issue.  Do be ready for a headache, however, as nitro pills always give your noggin a thump.

Please help. How did they find your blockage.?? I have had two ekg and xray and blood work and all was normal. They said I should get a holer monitor to see if that find something. My chest is hurting mild pain back hurt and sometimes its in my neck. I just was diagnosed with anxiety and depression.with panic attacks. They are not writing it off as that because I had them test done in the er without telling them about the anxiety. Oh and also had my thyroid checked. Thanks in advance.
