Heartburn is a burning sensation or discomfort in the chest or upper abdomen, often accompanied by a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, a condition known as acid reflux. This backward flow irritates the lining of the esophagus, causing inflammation and the characteristic burning sensation. Common causes of heartburn include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where frequent acid reflux occurs, and conditions such as hiatal hernia, where part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. Lifestyle factors such as overeating, consuming spicy or fatty foods, drinking alcohol or caffeine, and smoking can exacerbate heartburn. Additionally, obesity and pregnancy can increase abdominal pressure, leading to acid reflux.
Treatment for heartburn involves both lifestyle modifications and medical interventions. Lifestyle changes include avoiding trigger foods and beverages, eating smaller meals, not lying down immediately after eating, and losing weight if overweight. Over-the-counter antacids and acid reducers, such as H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), can help neutralize stomach acid or reduce its production, providing relief from symptoms. For chronic or severe cases, a healthcare provider may recommend prescription medications or investigate underlying conditions that may require more targeted treatment. In persistent cases where lifestyle changes and medication do not provide sufficient relief, surgical options such as fundoplication, which strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent acid reflux, may be considered. Managing heartburn effectively often requires a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medical treatment to reduce symptoms and prevent complications like esophageal ulcers or Barrett's esophagus.
