Heartburn

If you have heartburn is caused by acid reflux (gastroesophageal reflux or GERD), your chances of having gallbladder problems are very high. Heartburn which is usually manifested as a burning sensation around the throat and/or chest is usually caused by stomach contents (especially digestive juices) moving back into the esophagus. Heartburn is a common health problem on its own. According to statistics, over 60 million Americans suffer from acid reflux once or more times a month. If other common gallbladder problems accompany the problem, seek medical attention immediately. Although getting heartburn may seem like a typical, harmless issue, you should see a doctor to ensure you don’t have gallbladder issues.
