I thought I was having heartburn. Only when the pain was excruciating did I realize I might die

A mother-of-two who survived lung cancer has revealed how she nearly died after mistaking a heart attack for heartburn as she tried to exercise the pain away.

Reena Caprario, 55, who battled lung cancer in late 2023 and has a history of diabetes, ignored the warning signs for a week, convinced her symptoms were simply acid reflux from her recent surgery.
