I have been having heartburn daily for the past two months and my mouth burns....the roof, gums and tongue. I shined a flashlight in my mouth and the roof of my mouth looks pale and the back has red streaks. The problem stated when I was under some stress. I have health anxiety, so this persistant problem is making me very nervous. I am a 63 year old female. I know, you would think by now I would have conquered this anxiety! I go to a doctor in three weeks. My appetite is good, but it have a lot of gas and belching. I have energy.
