Frequent or Constant Heartburn

Heartburn is a burning pain in the center of the chest that typically begins after eating.3Ebihara, Satoru, et al. ‘Dysphagia, Dystussia, and Aspiration Pneumonia in Elderly People.’ Journal of Thoracic Disease, AME Publishing Company, Mar. 2016, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4805832/ While many people frequently feel heartburn, patients that have heartburn several times a week should take note. In combination with other symptoms, this could be a sign of dysphagia.

Heartburn is easy to mistake for other chest problems. It's commonly accompanied by a strong taste in the mouth similar to stomach acid, which could be a telltale differentiator.
