Heartburn normally happens when you have been overeating or when you have eaten something very spicy. It also happens after alcohol or aerated beverage consumption. When it happens occasionally, you won’t find it abnormal, and you may get comfort after taking antacids or ajwain or saunf. The problem can be serious when it doesn’t go away, and the discomfort becomes a bit unbearable. The problem with heartburn is that there is little to distinguish between an impending heart attack and heartburn. Hence, if heartburn is happening frequently or if it is not going with the traditional treatments, you should definitely get yourself tested.
