sure or a history of cardiac problems, do
not assume that pain is being caused by
acid reflux.

Seek immediate medical attention.
On a more optimistic note, Perez says
if your symptoms improve with your
usual heartburn treatment, it’s less like-
ly to be pain related to cardiac issues.
“You wouldn’t have improvement in a
heart attack with Maalox, so that does
provide good information.”
That risk of masked heart attack
symptoms points up the importance of
having a good doctor-patient relation-
ship, says Perez.
“When a symptom is new, it’s a little
bit more alarming than somebody I’ve
known four or five years that has had re-
f lu x.”
Other warning bells that might trig-
ger a visit to a primary care provider or a
specialist such as Perez can include dif-
ficulty or pain in swallowing; a feeling
of involuntary regurgitation or sensing
that food is coming back up your esoph-
agus after swallowing; unexplained
weight loss or anemia; and visible bleed-
ing or black stools.
Meanwhile, there are warnings that
chronic usage of antacids can effect
absorption of important vitamins and
minerals. By extension that could in-
crease the risk of problems like osteopo-
rosis.
And while certain seemingly unre-
lated medications commonly taken by
many older Americans – including some
blood pressure medications – can con-
tribute to heartburn, there may well be
readily available alternatives.
“Nowadays [acid reflux] medicines
are so effective at what they do that if
you don’t respond to them, that’s when
we start to say, Hey, maybe we need to
do a little bit more investigation here,”
Perez says.

served as Governor General of Canada, said, “Every man at the bottom of his heart
believes that he is a born detective.” SOUTH
QJ863
A bridge player needs to be a detective. There are clues littered around every deal, Q9
just waiting to be interpreted correctly. Q7
A852
In this week’s deal, first there is a bidding question. North opens one club, East
overcalls one heart, South responds one spade, and North raises to two spades. Dealer: North; Vulnerable: Both
What should South do now?
The Bidding:
Then we don our deerstalker and decide what South should do in four spades. West
leads the heart jack. East wins with his king, cashes the heart ace, and continues with SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING
the heart five. When South ruffs up with the spade six, West discards a diamond. How Pass 1 Clubs 1 Hearts
should South continue? 1 Spades 2 Spades Pass LEAD:
?? J Hearts
If responder bids one of a major and is raised by opener to two of that major,
responder passes with nine losers, insists on game with seven losers, and makes a
game-try with eight losers. So, here, South, over two spades, continues with three
clubs. Then North should jump to four spades because he has good clubs, two aces
and four-card spade support.

South, who must hold his pointed-suit losers to one, would usually take the spade
finesse. However, if West had that king, surely he would have overruffed at trick
three. South should lead his spade queen, then put up dummy’s ace. Here, the king
drops, and declarer can claim. But if the king does not appear, South plays another
trump and hopes clubs are 3-3 or East can be squeezed if he has four clubs and the
diamond king.
