    No it doesn't give you heart trouble but it can give you a esophagus problem down the road. If you have it often go to the doctor there are many things they can do now and you want damage your esophagus. I hate heartburn

    No it has nothing to do with each other. You can have heart problems that feel a lot like heartburn though. Do not confuse the two. Heartburn most likely happens after you have eaten something. Its kind of like a burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone which is caused by regurgitation of gastric acid. The pain usually starts at the lower part of chest and rises to the throat and neck.

    No. The two conditions are normally unrelated.
