Heart burn is a condition when the hydrochloric acid in your stomach riles up and starts splashing around, sometimes splashing a little outside of your stomach. The hydorchloric acid in your gastric juices irritates your throat linings, causing that uncomfortable sensation.
Another example is when you puke. Some of your gastric juice also comes out and irritates your throat linings, and that is why sometimes you also feel that heartburn sensation after throwing up.
