Heartburn is a common condition characterized by a burning sensation in the chest, often after eating. It occurs when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. While occasional heartburn is normal, frequent episodes may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which requires medical attention.
