I went to the doctor because I had pains in my heart. I thought I was having a heart attack.
I made an appointment with a cardiologist. He ordered lots of tests in the hospital.
After completing the tests the doctor said my heart was really healthy.
I was embarrassed that I went through all that only to find out maybe it was indigestion.
Has anyone had experience?

Why is indigestion sometimes mistaken as a heart attack?

It is better to have symptoms checked out. You should never be embarrassed. A friend of mine had indigestion right before he had a heart attack.
I read that when the famous model Lauren Hutton was 60 years old, she was airlifted to a hospital because she thought she was experiencing symptoms of a heart attack. It turns out she had indigestion. I think the symptoms feel similar, i.e. like chest pain.
