What causes heartburn?

And, how come some people get it but others do not? Even kids/teens get it, right? Not just adults.

… asked:


occasionally I breathe in, and I get a sharp pain in my chest and I can’t move or breathe out fast until it goes away. I feel like I have to hold my chest, and I go stiff. I’mnot sure if that is what heartburn is. It usually happens near my rib.
Do you mean something like a side stitch, where you get that pain after you run? Well, I usually get those pains lower. These ones are higher, and not always near the rib. Sometimes it’s in the middle of my chest. Can’t explain it.

The old wives tale is that the baby is growing hair, is that true? What significance is there to heartburn during the third trimester?

shespullingthetrigger asked:


I have extremely bad heartburn and I can’t quite figure out what it is that is making me have such bad heartburn. I take Tums, and it helps immensely, but what is causing it?

What other foods should I avoid for heartburn?

I have eaten before a workout. I always eat after a workout. About an hour before I work out I usually drink a protein shake with fruit in it. But sometimes I get heartburn so bad I have to stop in the middle of my routine.
