Specializes in Family Medicine

Could be: It is common for heartburn symptoms to occur when lying down. This can present as chest pain. If you have other cardiac risk factors such as , family history, obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, or diabetes you should seek medical attention to rule out a blockage in your heart.
