Yeah, I still get the chest pains but I've never had any other symptoms like shortness of breath, arm pain, sweating, or naseau. It still worries me everytime I get a bout of heartburn, but it's something I've had to deal with. I've had to incorporate acid reducers and a more GI friendly diet.
I am 27, and the doctors said there is no chance of it being a blockage at my age. I feel a little better about that, but always have some aspirin handy.
