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. Some symptoms of heartburn are: Burning in the chest or throat Sour or bitter taste in the mouth Belching with burning sensation in chest of throat Chronic coughing Wheezing or other asthma-like symptoms If a baby vomits up or throws up almost every time he eats and seems fussy, the infant may have gastric reflux. Warning Signs: Symptoms of heartburn may sometimes be confused with a heart attack. 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 ››
