Heart Attack, Panic Attack, Anxiety and Indigestion: What is the Difference?

Learn why symptoms feel so similar, how to tell them apart and when to seek care. Chest pain or tightness, burning sensations, shortness of breath, sudden sweating – any of these can be heart attack symptoms, but they also may indicate something less serious. Other common causes of chest pain include a panic attack, anxiety attack and indigestion. Learn how to tell these symptoms apart and when to seek care.

Small business owners have to cover numerous expenses like payroll, utilities, equipment costs and advertising. Without a tight budget, it’s easy to lose track of where the money goes. With that in mind, here are some tips to help get your company’s budget on track. 

The Internal Revenue Service offered a lifeboat of sorts Tuesday to California residents and businesses floundering in the atmospheric river: More time to pay their income taxes.

The agency announced that taxpayers in any county covered by a federal emergency declaration would have until May 15 to file their income tax returns for 2022. So far, 31 of the state's 58 counties are in that group, including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Ventura counties; if the declaration is extended to more counties, the IRS will grant them the extra time as well.

SANDAG prepares and updates a Regional Plan every four years in collaboration with the 18 cities and County of San Diego, as well as regional, state, and federal partners. Now that the 2021 Regional Plan is being implemented, development of the 2025 Regional Plan is underway! The new Plan is slated for adoption in late 2025. 

You'll gain honest facts and insightful thoughts about applying for a small business loan, from answers to your credit questions and industry guidance as well as do's and don't's plus success stories to glean ideas from. This is a special program to learn from Citibank and its participating lenders about their new online tool.

You will receive mentorship, guidance, education, and much-needed community for your business during these unprecedented times. We have developed a fast curriculum and you will end up with fundamental knowledge to execute additional marketing campaigns once the cohort is complete. You will feel ready and confident once our time together is completed.

See you on Wednesday for session 1, Feb. 08 from 3-5 p.m.
