Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 20 year old daughter woke up after going to sleep 20 minutes ago complaining of a burning pain in her chest (from the bottom of her throat to the sternum. she is also experiencing unusual amounts of saliva in her mouth. she has a history of acid reflux (about 2 years ago) but hasn't felt this type of pain. No fever or nausea. It woke her up and she can't lie down. She ate dinner at 6 pm and didn't go to bed until 9 pm. She had no symptoms when she went to bed. Is this heartburn?
