It wasn’t your fault. Those burritos were calling your name all the way from the Mexican restaurant, weren’t they? And that margarita was yelling the loudest. Sure, you should have had some water and less salsa on your chips, but it was a fun Friday night. At 3am, you feel a searing, burning pain in the center of your chest that wakes you from a dead sleep. You sit up and begin to panic. You wake your spouse who says she thinks you should go to the emergency room so you load up and head to the local hospital. Later, you are embarrassed to learn that it was simply a case of heartburn. It sure did not feel like heartburn to you, but apparently chest pain is one of the common symptoms of heartburn.
