A member asked:
After drinking a beer i got heartburn followed by severe upper back cramps that come in waves every minute or so. 21, active. is this a heart issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: this sounds like esophageal spasms and it feels like back spasms. Sometimes drinking too much also dehydrates you and causes your muscle to cramp At your heart it probably is not heart but monitor for other symptoms
