My question is does anyone know WHY my heartburn pain starts in my upper
back, right behind my heart area,
and then proceeds to a bad burning sensation
in my neck
and throat...its very painful and is relieved my antacids, although only for a short period of time, which leaves me taking several doses before all is over. Ive never really questioned it, but today I was at the dr for a routine exam and asked and he said he thinks it is the vagus nerve....but doesnt that cause chest pain...
