just a friendly warning to take frequent heartburn seriously. I have been having it for a while and would go away after a couple of tums until Tuesday - it wouldn't go away and it ended up being a heart attack. One of my arteries was 99% blocked and I had to have a stint put in. So heartburn can be a warning of something more serious. BTW, I am fine and home now- the Lord brought me through and gave it to me for a wake up call!
