What could be the cause of a burning sensation in your chest?

Question

My boyfriend has a sensation of burning on the right side of his chest. (It started late last night) It starts and stops in bursts and it happens at random times. He has mono right now as well. Could it be a symptom of mono? I think he may have persistent heartburn, but he didn't eat anything before the burning sensation occurred. Could it be heartburn? If not, what else could it be? Is there anything he can do to calm down the burning? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Heartburn and you dont have to eat anything to get that. Tums  

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

possible it might be inflammation of the chest from the mono. but personally i think its just heart burn. acid reflex. it will happen even if u dont eat anything. just tell him to take some pills like zantac or tums or something...as for the mono tell him to tell the dr
