If you feel a strong burning sensation in your chest, that seems to radiate, chances are that you’re experiencing heartburn. This is because of the effect that stomach acids have on your esophagus.
In contrast, if you’re experiencing a angina or impending heart attack, the pain feels more of a tightness; as if your heart is having a hard time beating.
Another clue is that the burning sensation usually starts from your upper abdomen and then moves up to your chest.
Experiencing chest pain after eating trigger foods
Some people who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) and people experiencing hyperacidity can have some trigger foods. Some examples are dairy products, sour foods, spicy foods, and even fatty foods.
If you experience chest pain after eating either of these foods, then chances are you might be experiencing heartburn, and not a heart attack.
