Symptom #6: Heartburn
Have you ever experienced a burning sensation in your chest or throat hours after a fatty or heavy meal? That sour taste that remains in your mouth is no more than your stomach acids backing up into your esophagus. If this happens frequently, it’s called gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD).
