Surgery is not something anyone plans for. Whether it's a hernia you've been putting off, a skin lump that finally needs attention, or something more urgent when the time comes, you want to feel sure about where you're going and who's operating.

But in many cases, the discomfort you feel after eating has a digestive origin rather than a cardiac one. That said, chest pain of any kind should never be entirely dismissed.
