2. Heartburn Due to GERD

GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease affects the lower part of the esophagus. It presents with a sharp pain in the lower chest and upper stomach. A weakening of the valve that separates the stomach from the esophagus causes stomach acid to splash back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation, pain, and discomfort.
