10% of Americans have heart burn every year so it is quite a common problem. I don't know how common in 14 year olds but I remember having heart burn when I was your age so I would not worry.
HOWEVER, I would go and see your doctor, Why?
1. It could be something serious and the doctor will be able to tell very quickly.
2. If it is nothing serious then the doctor telling you will be very help-full. A lot of heart burn is indigestion caused by exercise stomach acid excretion cause through stress. So if the doctor tells you not to worry this may reduce your stress and the problem might go away.

You should not be dealing with heart burn at your age, but sometimes this comes with the food we eat. But there is also a thing called estruphigal reflux (sorry about the spelling) You may explain to your parents and they can take you to the docot to be checked. It would be just a matter of some medicine to take the heart burn away. Good luck. Heart burn can make you miseable!

It's not uncommon, but I wouldn't say it's "normal." Ask your parents if they also have heartburn. Sometimes it's hereditary. If so, they can tell you what to do for it. If not, try taking some Tums or other OTC meds. Just be sure to follow the directions on the bottle. Also, try increasing your water intake.

Not normal, but common. My son had heartburn at 8. Check with your doctor about ulcers also. This too can occur.

No it is not normal. Heartburn is never normal. You should see a doctor.
Also, you should never use your first and last name on sites like this. It is dangerous to give out too much information about yourself.

yes especially if you eat a lot of greasy,spicy and hot foods try taking something like previcid or prilosec before your meal ( you only take 1 per day) and this should help with the indegestion and heartburn
