| | Heartburn is a common cause of chest pain, but severe or chronic chest pain could also signify a more serious condition such as a heart attack. | | | Heartburn is a burning discomfort in the chest or throat that results when harsh stomach acid comes into contact with and irritates the delicate lining of the esophagus, the tube-like structure that connects the mouth to the stomach. | | | The pain caused by heartburn and heart attack can be so severe that both patients and doctors have a difficult time distinguishing one from the other. |
