Chronic heartburn can have a serious impact on an individual’s life. It can be a symptom of a more serious condition, gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Also, if chronic heartburn isn’t treated, it can lead to serious complications, including Barrett’s esophagus, erosive esophagitis, esophageal strictures, and even esophageal cancer. Please consult your doctor if you feel that your heartburn is chronic.
