This combination can indicate several conditions including heart problems, acid reflux, anxiety, or gastrointestinal issues. Seek immediate medical attention if experiencing these symptoms, especially with shortness of breath or dizziness.
When should I go to the emergency room for nausea and chest pain?
Seek emergency care immediately if you experience severe chest pain, pressure, shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or if symptoms last more than a few minutes. Do not wait to call 911.
