Heartburn can be a symptom of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, gastritis, and gastric ulcer. It is best to perform a gastroscopy to confirm this diagnosis and to exclude other diseases of the stomach and esophagus, including cancer. In young people without disturbing symptoms such as anemia (anemia), weight loss, the doctor may try trial treatment of the so-called proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole). These medications help to effectively control heartburn. Regardless of pharmacological treatment, you should avoid sour, sweetened foods, coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks. It is also worth avoiding large amounts of food at a time and lying down after meals.
