Answer:

I would suspect Heart Attack, but hiatal hernia- a condition in which the upper part of your stomach bulges through an opening in your diaphragm.

Explanation:

The symptoms sound like those of heartburn, but seeing that antacids didn't have any effect. Antacids neutralize (reduce) excess stomach acid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, acid indigestion, and stomach upset. They can also be used to relieve the pain of stomach and duodenal ulcers.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/9624-heartburn-treatment

Shortness of breath, epigastric pressure are one of the four silent signs of a heart attack. You usually have to look past chest pain, to give a resolute diagnosis. They often suffer from subtle symptoms such as:

Pain in the arms, neck or jaw

   Sweating or “cold sweat”

   Unusual fatigue

   Feelings of fullness, indigestion or choking (also symptoms of heartburn)

   Nausea or vomiting

   Lightheadedness, dizziness, extreme weakness or anxiety

Symptoms of a hiatal hernia

It’s rare for even fixed hiatal hernias to cause symptoms. If you do experience any symptoms, they’re usually caused by stomach acid, bile, or air entering your esophagus. Common symptoms include:

   shortness of breath

   heartburn that gets worse when you lean over or lie down

   chest pain or epigastric pain

   trouble swallowing

   belching

I know this is long, but i hope it helps lol . ^-^

In the game of golf, a player that is able to putt the ball in the hole in one less stroke than the par of the hole is said to h
storchak [24]

Answer:

the answer is ace

Explanation:

par: Refers to the number of strokes a golfer is expected to need to complete the play of one hole on a golf course. A player makes a “birdie” when he uses one fewer strokes than the par of the hole. If a player needs one stroke more than par to finish a hole, he makes a “bogey.” So, if you finish a par 4 with only 3 strokes, you make a “birdie”, but if you take 5 strokes to complete a par 4, you make a “bogey”.
