what if I have a sore,slightly burning sensation throat in the morning that lasts all da without a hot, sour, acidic, or bitter taste without eating?
that sounds like just a regular sore throat that can be helped by using mouth wash or swishing water mixed with a tiny bit of salt around in your mouth for about 25 seconds.
oh, but right now, i’m wondering what i’m feeling and/or if i should go to the E.R. it feels like i have an anaconda wrapped around my chest, and/or have food caught right in between my breast plates…my question is if that sounds like its heart burn or maybe something more serious. because this pain has been hurting me all day!
hey i am currently feeling a bunrning sensation in or around my heart its been going for around 5 mins now and i am feeling worried. should i? thanks
also its like a tiny squeezing or stabbing
What if you have sharp pains in your chest and it happens when you move or take deep breaths. Is this heart burn?
hahaha all you people are probably having heart attacks and not even realizing it.
…not that that’s funny.
how do you tell if it is really heartburn?
I don’t know if I have Heartburn. All I feel is a sharp stinging pain that lasts for a while, right at my chest.
okay, im 18 years of age and im all paranoid because there is times that i get these little pinches on the left side or the middle of my chest for a while now and they last for about a minute.. I was wondering if this can be heartburn..
wat if the heart burn last for up to a day and feels like a buring sensation is that still heartburn
is it normal to have heartburn when you are 12 years old or is it unlikely? because I believe that I have all these simptims but I don’t know for shure if it is commine for someone my age and also my father has it alot does that affect me in anyway? can I infaret that from him??
please write back as soon as possible
Thank you Erin
For the last 7 to 8 months I have been experiencing my tongue and lips and throat burning it is very uncomfortable and I have it all the time. The symstons do increase sometimes after I eat but it seems that any of the the medications that my doctor has recommended do not help. What can I do this is a terrible way to live.
it hurts alot even i experience it
i think i have heartburn, but it hurts when i breath deeply, is that still a symptom of heartburn? Thanks
I had a really bad pain last night for about 3-5hours
it was on the left side of my chest underneath my ribs and that area was palpitating, it was so painful i cried for a real long time, until i fell asleep. I woke up this morning the pain is gone but it feels weird around my chest, and i was burping a bit this morning, which was impossible last night. Also is it possible it was the ice cream i had yesterday that caused it? I haven’t had ice cream for about 6 to 8 months until yesterday and i’ve never had a heartburn before, so was all of this a heartburn?
I am having what feels like contractions in my chest is that considered heartburn? I have never had this feeling or heartburn ever.
