More than likely: Your doctor is probably correct. Heartburn can be caused by different things for different people. Heartburn is the reflux of caustic gastric juice back up to the esophagus. How far this juice refluxes often determines what symptoms are produced. You can alleviate the pain by watching what you eat and when you eat it. Spend time with your doctor and get answers to all the questions you may have.

What does a normal unconfirmed ecg report indicate? If it states normal, does it mean that everything heart related is alright? Despite the report, I have chest burning/stinging sensation. I have diabetes 255 at random. Please let me know. Thankyou.

Hi. I've been feeling heartburn and pain when drinking and swallowing. Also, a sharp pain in my left side of the chest radiating down to my stomach. More like a burning sensation or similar. Almost feels like my liquids or foods touch my heart.
