Heartburn Before And After Pregnancy. Why Is It ?
I am 29 years old and I have only had heartburn one time before that was when I was pregnant . 2 days ago I ate one bite of a spicy chicken sandwich and it burned my throat and chest badly so I stopped eating it. Since then I have been having heartburn on and off even when I don t eat. Why would I have this and will it ever go away?

as the history is of very recent onset and that too has a potent cause of spicy food, so i believe there is nothing to worry for long term disease. just avoid spicy food and lead a natural life style. you can get temporary relief just with cold milk. If it persists then other causes can be searched and treated accordingly.
