Trying to bulk you your points there, Pa?

I have ran quite a few calls here with elderly females that are having ACS that present with slight SOB and epi-gastric pain. Most of them fell like they " have to burp real bad." So far I would say roughly 6/10 of them have had an AMI with just those two symptoms. I am very leary now when anyone does not present with the " classic" S/S of AMI. Better to treat for the worst and be over cautious.
