If your heartburn occurs more than once a week or is very severe, you should consult your doctor. There is a connection between chronic heartburn and esophageal cancer.

If you have other symptoms, such as vomiting or regurgitating blood, inhaling stomach contents while sleeping, or severe chest pain that lasts more than 15 minutes and does not respond to treatment - you should also seek immediate attention.

If in doubt, always seek the advice of a medical professional. Your health is precious.
