A Pain in the Chest
New Study Warns of the Danger of Chronic Heartburn
For the vast majority of occasional heartburn sufferers, relief can be as
simple as an over-the-counter remedy. But, on 20/20 Friday, Dr. Timothy
Johnson reports that if you have frequent heartburn — meaning two or more
times a week — new studies warn that it can be anything but normal. It could,
in fact, be deadly. Chronic heartburn is progressing to esophageal cancer, a
highly fatal disease, in epidemic numbers.
On Monday, Dec. 13 at 3 p.m. ET you can chat with Dr. Philip Schoenfeld,
director of GI research at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Post your questions now
