A member asked:
Can the common cold, caffeine, periods, and i've been eating bad this week, cause heartburn? i've had chili sense saturday and ribs last night.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes indeed: Yes they could have caused this. That said, seems like this is unusual for you so it should subside. Chronic heartburn symptoms warrant intervention.
