Understanding Heartburn and Its Causes
Heartburn manifests as a burning sensation in the chest, typically after meals or when lying down. It results from acid reflux, where stomach acid irritates the esophagus. Common causes include obesity, spicy foods, smoking, and hiatal hernia.
Symptoms and When to Seek Medical Help
Symptoms include burning chest pain, sour taste, and difficulty swallowing. If heartburn occurs more than twice weekly, is severe, or accompanied by chest pain or difficulty breathing, consult a healthcare professional promptly.
