用法筆記

Despite the word 'heart' in the name, heartburn is a digestive problem, not a heart condition. The pain simply occurs near the chest area. If you feel pressure or pain spreading to the arm or jaw, it may be a heart attack — always seek medical help for chest pain you are unsure about.

常見錯誤

I think I'm having a heartburn attack.
I think I have heartburn.
heartburn is uncountable and not something you 'have an attack' of in normal usage.
Heartburn means there is something wrong with my heart.
Heartburn is caused by stomach acid, not by the heart.
the name is misleading; the heart is not involved.
