[gotcha] Dismissing unexplained chest pain as heartburn and suggesting antacids

Treat any unexplained chest pain as a potential myocardial infarction. Advise calling emergency services immediately; do not suggest antacids as a first-line diagnostic test.

Journey Context:
Users often describe heart attack symptoms as 'chest burning' or 'indigestion'. An AI might pattern-match this to GERD and suggest antacids. However, myocardial infarctions frequently mimic gastrointestinal distress. Suggesting antacids can provide temporary relief or distract the user, delaying life-saving intervention. Always triage to the most lethal differential first.
