For me this is a real issue. I have genetic high cholestrol (I'm on 80 mg lipitor) and I suffer from gastric reflux and excessive gas. I've been to ER twice when I thought I was having a heart attack but it was just bad gas/heartburn :( Now I'm sure to dismiss the real attack...

Are you overweight? Does your gastric reflux / gas have any associated episodic shortness of breath? Just trying to make parallels with myself.

No I'm not overweight would be suicide for me ;/. No smoking or anything like that. I am a bit unfit though.

I've never had shortness of breath while not active. That's also what the doctor told me to look out for. It's still scary and confusing though.
