Answer 2

Heartburn and heart attacks are two vastly different things.

"Heartburn" is usually caused by stomach acid getting into the esophagus or throat, causing a burning sensation. It can be caused by medications, certain foods, alcohol, or pregnancy.

Most heart attacks happen when a clot in the coronary artery blocks the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Often this leads to an irregular heartbeat --hat causes a severe decrease in the pumping function of the heart. A blockage that is not treated within a few hours causes the affected heart muscle to die.

Heartburn is also known as pyrosis and acid indigestion is a burning sensation in the chest just behind the breastbone or in the epigastrium.

Heartburn is usually associated with regurgitation of gastric acid(gastric reflux) which is the major symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).
