A possible sign of dysphagia is heartburn, which usually appears in people who smoke or drink an excessive amount of alcohol. Other factors, such as pregnancy and age, may increase your chances of developing heartburn. Heartburn is a condition that causes a burning sensation in the lower chest. It also causes a bitter taste to appear in the throat or the mouth. Heartburn occurs after eating a meal, and certain foods can worsen the condition.
