8Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD is a common digestive issue that would cause burning chest pain. It occurs when stomach acid comes back up your esophagus and affects the lining. The resulting pain around your chest area is also known as heartburn. You might feel worse when lying down. The condition would also lead to swallowing difficulty as if there was something blocking the throat. It does not need a trip to the emergency room, but you need to inform your healthcare provider early. Otherwise, the stomach acid would cause many severe health issues. [8]
