    thanks Kay, called him the other day and he said the same thing. It is not as bad as before so thinking it is non cardiac, the iron I am taking is reaking havoc on the stomach and giving me indigestion so I think that is all that it is but will go if it gets worse...

    I agree....
    You need to be seen by a doctor to rule out cardiac problems. It may be indigestion, or it may not. But you really should be checked out.

    I've always been told that any chest pain needs to checked out to be sure it isn't cardiac. Better safe than sorry.
