I have been feeling a burn-like feeling at the bottom of my left rib cage that comes and goes. Could this be a heart problem?

Dr. Jean Esso Anesthesiology
An uncomfortable feeling of burning, heat, or pain behind the breastbone could be caused by acid reflux. It may occur after eating or soon after lying down. Considering your age, the possibility of a heart problem seems less likely.

It is probable an acid reflux disease.
