Can be GER: It sounds like possibly gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux. Heart burn is equated with gastroesophageal reflux.If this occurs commonly should see physician for proper therapy and examination. Sometimes the diagnosis involves endoscopy of esophagus and stomach for serverity of disease if not responsive to medical therapy.Should see physician for examination and workup.
