What Are The Symptoms Of Heartburn

Q.everytime I eat a meal I get a painfull feeling in my chest sometimes where my hear is and sometimes opposite of it. And a few minutes ago I got a random stabbing feeling on/in my heart. I am going to go see a doctor but is it serious enough to go right away or does anyone know what it is. It has been going on for two weeks Are these symptoms of heartburn?

A.What you describe does seem to be recurrent heartburn. First, heartburn is not a heart disease. It has nothing to do with the heart. It is a gastroesophageal disorder. It is only called "heartburn" because of the location of the primary symptom (a painful burning feeling in your chest or throat). Certain foods and drinks can increase your chances of symptoms. Names include: - Heartburn - Acid indigestion - Acid reflux - Gastroesophageal reflux - Pyrosis It is important to have the cause evaluated and a treatment plan put in place. Acid reflux can, over time, cause serious and permanent damage to the linings of the esophagus. However, it is unlikely that emergency treatment is necessary. Gallbladder Disease can sometimes be the cause of heartburn. You may want to check this out when other causes have been eliminated. There are other possible causes for these symptoms.
