I've had heartburn for almost a week what's wrong and how do i treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heartburn: Heartburn is not a disease. It is an expression of a problem in your upper intestinal system. Most cases are not serious but sometimes it can come from an ulcer or infection or dietary indiscretion or alcoholism or medication etc. Ask your health care provider to help you track this down and give you a treatment for it.
