Heartburn typically presents as a burning sensation in the chest, often after eating, along with a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. It can also cause discomfort when lying down or bending over.

You should see a doctor if you experience heartburn more than twice a week, have trouble swallowing, persistent nausea, or if the symptoms are severe or don’t improve with over-the-counter treatments.

5. Can stress cause heartburn indigestion?
