I get episodes of burning in my chest, back, and in both arm pits. my heart and gall bladder check out as normal. is this likely heartburn?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Possible: Try to see if the burning related to specific food intake. See gastroenterologist if can't find a connection to anything.
