Heart attack or heartburn
If
you are feeling severe heartburn; you need to visit an urgent care center for
evaluation. Medically speaking, heartburn is not associated with your heart,
but the pain is in your upper chest, which is alarming and confusing for many
people. Heartburn actually takes place in your esophagus. It is a non medical
term for acid reflux.
Explaining heartburn
Heartburn is a common condition that occurs when stomach acids rise up
into the esophagus. The stomach acids burn the soft tissues of the esophagus, causing
pain that begins in your chest; sometimes radiating to your neck, throat or
jaw. The lining of our stomach is designed to tolerate digestive acid, but our
esophagus is not.
