Heartburn and gallbladder issues can be related, but they stem from different causes. Heartburn is primarily caused by acid reflux, where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, often due to dietary choices or gastrointestinal conditions. Gallbladder problems, such as gallstones, can lead to digestive issues and may cause symptoms like abdominal pain, which can sometimes be mistaken for heartburn. However, while they can coexist, they are distinct conditions.
