I have a history of tachycardia and recently spent a night in the hospital
when I experienced chest pain. As it turned out, it wasn't heart-related
but was a spasm of my esophagus. This can be triggered by acid reflux.
I'd eaten Mexican food the night before and, although it was "safe," I
don't often eat spicy food. Also, whenever I do have a gluten accident I
get a lot of acid. Anyway, the pain went away immediately when I was given
nitroglicerine, which I understand is normal, and I'm now being treated for
GERD (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). Hope this helps.
