I am a 26 year old woman and have never had heartburn until recently. Two nights ago I started experiencing heart burn symptoms and it has not gone away. It gets worse if I eat or drink anything. I also have some frequent nausea. This happened to me about 2 weeks ago though it only lasted one day. I have tried zantac and tums and neither bring much relief. What could be going on?
