Symptoms of Heartburn
Heartburn, also called acid indigestion, is the mainly
common symptom of Gastroesophageal reflux disease and usually feels like a
burning chest pain start behind the breastbone and moving upward to the neck
and throat. Many people say it feels like food is coming back into the mouth
leaving an acid or bitter taste.
The burning, pressure, or pain of heartburn can last as
long as 2 hours and is often worse after eating. Lying down or bending over can
also result in heartburn. Many people obtain relief by standing upright or by
taking an antacid that clears acid out of the esophagus.
Heartburn pain is sometimes mistaken for the pain
associated with heart disease or a heart attack, but there are differences.
