People with severe “gas” discomfort in the upper abdomen or chest may have acute coronary ischemia. People who have warning signs or are over age 60 require an endoscopy. People who have no warning signs and who are under age 60 are treated with an acid-blocking drug. People whose symptoms do not lessen in 4 to 8 weeks require further evaluation.
