Signs and Symptoms of Heart Diseases

Heartburn

Heartburn can also be a sign of impending heart disease like heart failure. It occurs as a sharp burning sensation in the chest near the ribs or breastbone. What causes heartburn is that the stomach acid moves up into the esophagus and causes irritation. This medical situation might require a doctor’s intervention. You can also pay close attention to your heartburn. If you have heartburn regularly after eating specific foods, then you should know those foods cause heartburn, and you should stay away from such foods. But if you notice that even without eating anything, you are experiencing heartburn, immediately consult your doctor. [2]
