I am a 52 year old woman - in menopause - experience heartburn multiple times a day - whether I m eating or not. If I don t eat soon enough, my upper abdomen bloats - I just finished my lunch of a small spinach salad with chicken, and here s the heartburn. The bloating and feeling of fullness is more commonplace the last few weeks, as well. I am overweight, but working to remedy that. Nothing I do seems to be the right thing, though! I wonder if I should be seeing a doctor.
