Heartburn

Heartburn (Acid Reflux)

Heartburn, often a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort or a burning sensation. If untreated, chronic heartburn can lead to complications like esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus. It is commonly triggered by certain foods, stress, or lifestyle factors.
