What Causes Heart Burn After Exercise In An Elderly Person?

I have been experiencing heartburn shortly after completing an exercise class. I am a 60 year old female. This is the 3rd time in 4 days I experienced it. It goes away in about an hour. No other symptons and am healthy otherwise. I do not routinely experience heartburn.

hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Exercises usually done on an empty stomach... cause lot of energy utilization ... leading to hunger contractions followed by acidity & heart burns.
To avoid..before doing exercises in old age ( when food intake is reduced....you can have light tea with sugar as a source of energy.
Thanks.
