The symptoms were INTENSE solar-plexus pain/pressure and a completely numb left arm. I never get indigestion (physically anyway), but it was the left arm that really worried me. I took two Bayer aspirin immediately and the symptoms subsided, but 2 days later I was still experiencing light-headedness, weakness, dizziness, and tingling and numbness in the extremities and lips, so some friends persuaded me to go the clinic to check it out. I am still experiencing them now, FWIW, to a much lesser extent...You really think Maalox is the answer? >

I had the same thing happen similar and on and off for years. I thought it was mental stress, heart attack, or worse. Indigestion you say you do not get? How do you know? One does not have to have symptoms like the TV commercial advertisements say. Your belly does not have to feel pain or discomfort to have indigestion. A build up of gas adds pressure to the vagus nerve.
