Heartburn from Fosamax?

I have been taking Fosamax (35) for about five years. Lately I have
been suffering from persistent heartburn and chest pain. My heart
checks out fine. Could the Fosamax be causing this?

If you've been taking Fosamax for five years, you haven't changed anything
(same dose, same method for taking it, etc.) and the heartburn started
recently then it _probably_ isn't the Fosamax.

Has your doctor checked for ulcers and/or GERD (Gastroesophagal
Reflux Disorder)?
