Heartburn


 


    I am Dr. Samantha from the cardiology department. Yesterday while walking to McDonald’s (I was on my lunch break) I noticed a woman running around in circles. Quickly I ran to the women to see what was wrong. The women said that her heart was on fire so I made her an appointment for the next day at 11:45. I got my lunch and then crossed the street to the public library to find out more about “heartburn”. This is what I found out.
    When someone eats spicy foods the spices go through the blood stream into the left and right atriums heating up the ventricles. Someone can get this condition by eating hot or spicy foods and not drinking enough liquids.
    You are able to tell someone has ”heartburn” if he or she runs around in circles and drinks a lot of liquids. You may also notice small red markings on the patient’s chest and neck.
    Treatment for “heartburn” is quite simple really. All you need to do is drink plenty of water and juice and avoid eating hot or spicy foods.
    I have to go now, though because my secretary saying that a woman had just ran in and drank a gallon of water. So bye!!!
