10 Gastric Ulcer Symptoms
Symptom #9: Heartburn or Acid Reflux
Heartburn and acid reflux are conditions in which a person experiences a burning sensation in their chest, near the area where their heart is located.
Despite the name, heartburn isn’t actually your heart being burned—it occurs when your stomach acid comes into contact with the esophagus. The esophagus is not as protected as the rest of the stomach and this can cause a burning sensation.
