Boy, I didn't know a case of heavy duty heartburn could be so bad. All the symptoms sound so much like the ticker giving up, I can see why you were worried. And having to go to Emergency at 3.00 am on a Sat morning - I don't know what it's like where you are but I've been told that that is rush hour here.
Amazing what you learn on this site. I now know that there is a difference between the oesophagus and the assofficuss. One is connected to your mouth but I'm not sure about the other.
