Heartburn
A burning sensation in the chest or throat that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. Heartburn can be a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other digestive disorders.
When heartburn becomes frequent or chronic, or when a healthcare provider suspects underlying digestive problems.
Avoid eating or drinking for several hours before the test. Also, avoid taking any medications that can affect stomach acid levels, such as antacids or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), unless otherwise instructed by the healthcare provider.
A blood test is usually not necessary for diagnosing heartburn or GERD. However, in some cases, a healthcare provider may order a blood test to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as anemia or thyroid problems.

If the initial treatment plan that you choose does not work for you, it is normal and expected. Getting the results you want (or solving side effects) may require you to take a stronger or weaker dose.
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest caused by stomach acid refluxing into the esophagus.
Common triggers of heartburn include spicy foods, fatty foods, caffeine, alcohol, and smoking.
Tips for preventing heartburn include avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down after eating.
You should see a doctor for heartburn if you experience it frequently, if over-the-counter remedies do not work, or if you have difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or other symptoms in addition to heartburn.
