Sometimes the term
indigestion is used to describe the symptom of
heartburn, but these are two different conditions.
Heartburn is a painful, burning feeling in the chest that radiates toward the neck or back. Heartburn is caused by stomach acid rising into the esophagus and may be a symptom of GERD. A person can have symptoms of both indigestion and heartburn. How is your diet? With your type of pain, I would suppliment your diet with an antacid like Prilosec and see if that doesn't help.
