Summary

Heartburn is as common gastrointestinal symptom experienced by otherwise healthy adults and typically manifests as a painful burning sensation in the upper abdomen or in the chest. Typically, heartburn symptoms are treated with over-the-counter (OTC) medications which may come with side effects.
