Dr. Andrew Seibert answered

Specializes in Gastroenterology

Frequently.: caffeine, and in particular, coffee, very frequently causes acid reflux, which can feel like heartburn or indigestion. You might try switching to decaf initially, but you may have to stop coffee altogether if the symptoms persist. Good luck.
