Main > Specialty Areas > Gastroenterology > Heartburn and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptoms of Heartburn A burning or aching feeling that occurs after eating a heavy meal and lying down and starts in the chest under the breastbone (the sternum) can last from a few minutes to a few hours. If it doesn't go away with antacids and mostly occurs after exercise rather than eating, you should consult your physician or gastroenterologist. Doctor Info: A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system, starting from esophagus, down to the stomach, bowels and colon.

Pain from a heart condition is usually made worse by lying down or bending your body, but heartburn is usually not caused by physical activity. ‹‹ Causes of Heartburn Heartburn Diagnosis ››
