Acid reflux is a common condition characterized by burning pain in the lower chest area known as heartburn. It occurs when stomach acid returns to the food pipe.
Acid reflux is diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) when it occurs more than twice a week.
Acid reflux occurs when some of the stomach's acid content flows up into the esophagus, into the gullet, and moves food down from the mouth. Heartburn, despite its name, has nothing to do with the heart.
The stomach contains hydrochloric acid, a powerful acid that aids in digestion and protects against pathogens such as bacteria.
The stomach lining is specially adapted to protect it from the powerful acid, but the esophagus is not.
The gastroesophageal sphincter is a muscle ring that normally acts as a valve, allowing food into the stomach but not back up into the esophagus.
In this video, we will talk about lifestyle habits that can cause acid reflux, as well as the symptoms that one may experience as a result of this condition. All, while explaining what you should do if you're facing unpleasant heart, throat, and stomach burning sensations.
