M23 non smoker. have flu like symptoms for 3 days, but also have bad indigestion and heartburn. never had this accompany a flu before. is this normal?

Mgt: If the heartburn accompanying your flu symptoms does not improve with an over the counter treatment, I would suggest seeing your PCP. Viral illnesses may involve both the respiratory and GI tracts.
