What Does Heartburn Feel Like?
What does heartburn feel like? Does it feel like a heart attack? Maybe you ever asked these questions to yourself when you are wondering if the discomfort you are feeling is heartburn. Knowing what it feels like certainly will help you to recognize it and take action to get rid of heartburn.
Here are some common symptoms to answer the above question:
1. A feeling like food rushing back to the mouth.
2. Chest pain when bending or lying down particularly soon after eating.
3. Pain which starts behind the breast bone and reaches the mouth.
Sometimes, the pain is so severe that it may seem like a heart attack.
4. A burning feeling in the chest and pressure or pain being the breastbone.
This burning feeling may happen after eating a hot spicy meal. It may last up to two hours.
5. Bitter taste in the mouth and/or at the back of the throat, accompanied with severe pain in the chest.
Heartburn usually happens in the evening after a hot spicy meal, or a meal that is rushed through or eaten too close to a bed time. Chocolate, creamy desserts, foods full of acid like tomatoes or oranges also can lead to heartburn. Avoid those kinds of foods to prevent heartburn.
