==Overview==
[[Heartburn]] is commonly caused by [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] ([[GERD]]), including adverse reactions with various food and drugs.  
[[Heartburn]] is commonly caused by [[gastroesophageal reflux disease]] ([[GERD]]) or adverse reactions to various food and drugs, causing [[esophagitis]].  
Other causes are far less common, but some of them are potentially life-threatening.
Life threatening causes of [[heartburn]] are far less common and include [[acute coronary syndromes]] and [[esophageal cancer]].

[[Heartburn]] is commonly caused by sources of [[acid reflux]], including adverse reactions with various food and drugs. <br>
[[Esophageal]] and [[gastrointestinal]] [[cancer]] are potentially life threatening causes of heartburn and require prompt diagnosis and management.

Overview

Heartburn is commonly caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or adverse reactions to various food and drugs, causing esophagitis. Life threatening causes of heartburn are far less common and include acute coronary syndromes and esophageal cancer.
