A member asked:

Having heartburn whole day & night for the first time 1 week before expected period. is this normal or should i be concerned? this is abnormal for me.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not concerning : If you are experiencing classic heart burns symptoms (burning sensation in mid chest , typically associated with a large fatty, meal, alcohol, lying recumbent, pregnancy ) this can cause damage to the esophagus if severe and prolonged. However it is easily treatable with acid suppression medication. Pregnant women need to consult their doctors before starting any medication.
