I AM A FEMALE DIABETIC.58 YRS. OLD. I HAD A HEART ATTACK  6 MO'S AGO.I AM NOW SUFFERING FROM TERRABLE HEART BURNING IN MY STOMACH AND CHEST WITH BURPING. I HAD A TEST DONE ON MY ASAPHAGUST. THERE WASEN'T ANY BLOCKAGES. BUT I DO SUFFER FROM REFLUX AND HAVE FOR SEVERALL YRS NOW. I TAKE PROTONIX 2X DA. O ALSO HAVE CRONIC CONSTIPATION AND SUFFER FROM ANXIETY.I TAKE ANTI-ANXIETY MEDICATION AS WELL.I AM ON PLAVIX AND ASPIRIN 1X DA. DR. TOOK ME OFF LIPATOR BECAUSE OF MYSCLE  PAIN. I HAVE BEEN DIABETIC FOR OVER 30 YRS. I AM GOING IN TO HAVE ANOTHER LOOK AT MY EART IN A COUPLE OF WKS. TO SEE IF THERE IS SCAR TISSUE FROM THE FIRST STENT OR IF THERE ARE OTHER BLOCKAGES. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. AND SCARED. I WOULD LIKE AN APPINION AS TO WETHER YOU THINK THIS COULD IN FACT BE RELATED TO MY HEART OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE LIKE PERHAPS THE DIABETES OR STOMACH OR GALBLADER OR WHAT. IS IT VERY LIKELY THAT IT IS RELATED TO MY HEART AND COULD I BE A CANDIDAT FOR ANOTHER STENT OR POSSIBLY ANOTHER HEART ATTACK.
I HAVE A LOT OF PREASURE IN MY DIAFRAM WITH BURNING AND IT READIATES AROUND HEART AREA AND IT FEELS TIGHJT IN THE LEFTN SIDE OF MY NECK.AND I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO BURP SOMETIMES I DO BURP. I ALSO GET FELLINGS OF BEING HOT AND SOMETIMES SWEATY. I SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I'M TREMBELING INSIDE AND I HAVE DIZZYNESS AND TINGLING IN MY HEAD HANDS AND FEET.I AM REALLY SCARED AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. LAST NIGHT I WOLK UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WAS CHOCKING. I FELT LIKE I HAD STUFF TRYING TO COME UP. I ADDED MORE PILLOWS UNDER MY HEAD. I ALSO GET A BURNING FEELING IN MY BACK AT THE SAME TIME. TWO NIGHTS AGO I HAD A SEVERE SHARP PAIN IN MY LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF MY BADK.AND SOME CRAMPING.

Sorry to know that you are facing so many problems and symptoms which are confusing you. I am not a doctor but I also suffered MI eight months back. About a month back when my cardiologist increased my coreg intake from 12.5mgx2 to 18.75mgx2 I had all the problems which you have mentioned about feeling of need to burps, dizzyness, tingling in head and chocking sensation. If you have changed, increased or added some drug recently please check with your doctor for their side effects. But I know from this forum that some medicines do have these side effects and as the body gets used to them the symptoms reduce.

Good Luck
