Peter,
I just read in a previous post you are taking a beta-blocker. Be careful of this. I was having PVC's (now I think related to bad GERD attack) and was prescribed Toprol beta blocker. Made my chest pain way worse, plus started having asthma-like symptoms. After researching and looking at discussion boards on Toprol found these were side effects plus cause digestive problems - I prefered to just deal with the PVC's. Called my doctor and weaned off of them. If you do quit beta blockers, don't do so cold turkey.
