Can heartburn be the cause of cholesterol?

Heartburn is the burning feeling that arises from either the stomach or lower chest areas and reaches the neck. It's a feeling of discomfort. If you have cholesterol and having been taking medicines for it, then most likely you will be experiencing heart burn all the time. Cholesterol medications like Zocor or Simvastatin have side effects and one of the side effects is heart burn. If you are on cholesterol medication and suffer heartburns check with your doctor immediately. Your doctor will review the drug and possibly prescribe another one. You can lower your cholesterol by eating healthy and prevent heart burn from medication.
