Heartburn
When gastric acid becomes a problem
Many people are familiar with the annoying burning sensation in the stomach and esophagus. About one in every three to four individuals is affected by this problem at least once a year. However, heartburn is not a condition but rather a symptom that occurs when gastric acid passes into the esophagus (“reflux”) and irritates its sensitive mucous membranes. This happens because the lower esophageal sphincter does not close properly or is too relaxed to withstand the pressure in the stomach.
Fast relief is at hand
Thankfully, many people only experience heartburn occasionally and without any lasting or pathological disorders associated with the oesophageal sphincter. For example, it is often caused by very fatty, spicy or sweet foods. As unpleasant as symptoms such as sour belching and heartburn are, they are very treatable.
