A member asked:
Im having what appears to be heartburn, but its lasting about 8 hours now. should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pediatrician: Whenever symptoms are worsening it is recommended to get your doc involved. Heartburn lasting up to 8 h has to be further confirmed, investigated if needed and treated if confirmed. Your pediatrician will be your best reference as to what your choices are going forward. Lifestyle changes remain the first line, visit asge.org.
