severe Heartburn usually is due to a gastric acid reflux. An example of a case which causes Heartburn is an illness called Gastroesophageal Reflux disorder where the acid from the stomach regurgitates or goes back to the mouth through the esophagus. This acid is so strong that it results to a burning sensation or feeling in the chest area perceived as severe chest pain. Several foods, drinks and lifestyles cause severe heartburn. Examples are: Fried and fatty foods, caffeine (coffee, tea, soda/softdrinks, chocolates and other sweets, alcoholic drinks, cigarette, spicy foods, citrus and other sour foods and drinks (including milk) -DocLyn
