Hi, thank you for your question.

Your problem is about not having heartburn frequently. I will try to give you an explanation.

For your information, this issue could be caused by many thing. Certain foods and drinks can trigger this condition, such as:

  • spicy foods
  • onions
  • tomato products
  • fatty or fried foods
  • peppermint
  • large or fatty meals

You should seek a doctor if :

  • heartburn occurs more than twice a week
  • symptoms persists despite use of medications
  • you have difficulty swallowing
  • you have persistent nausea or vomiting
  • you have weight loss because of poor appetite or difficulty eating

Therefore, it is best for you to get yourself checked and get yourself examined by referring this problem to a doctor. You can talk to us via online consultation and we will refer you to a specialist if needed.

We hope this explanation helps you.
Thank you.
