Once you get past age 50...
I think all cardiologists would tell you not to assume any chest discomfort is indigestion. I think they would all tell you to get to the ER right away (call 911, don't drive). The ER doctor told me that they would rather see 10 false alarms than have one person fail to visit the ER and die with a heart attack. Too many fatal heart attack victims could have been saved with earlier treatment. Nothing should get in the way of getting quick medical attention with any chest discomfort. Minutes make a difference.
Don't take my word for this, discuss this with your doctor the next time you see him/her. Have a chest discomfort plan before the need arises. It could save your life.
