Question

(3.1.c) cardiac emergencies: quiz a middle - aged man was playing tennis when he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. he stopped playing and the pain went away after a short while. since the man had recently eaten a large meal, he assumed that the pain was just indigestion. what is most likely to have caused the pain? o a heart attack o a pulled chest muscle o gas and bloating o angina pectoris

Explanation:

Chest pain that goes away after resting and is assumed to be indigestion by the patient is likely due to gas and bloating. A pulled chest - muscle would likely not resolve so quickly just by stopping activity. Angina pectoris and heart attacks usually require medical intervention and don't typically resolve on their own in a short - term just by resting after eating a large meal.

Answer:

Gas and bloating
