Home Remedies For Heartburn, Acid Reflux, and GERD
NEW: Visit our Acid Reflux Information Center
Acid reflux or heartburn has nothing to do with the heart! It is called that probably because the burning sensation occurs in the chest, near the heart. If you don't know the difference between a heart attack and a heartburn attack, call a doctor or hospital as soon as you feel any symptoms. Better safe than sorry!
Acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD are all names for essentially the same problem: burning gastric pain in the throat or chest. When the heartburn begins, you only have one thing on your mind: make the pain stop as fast as possible! Other names include Peptic Esophagitis, Reflux Esophagitis, Chronic Heartburn, Cardialgia, and Pyrosis.
Heartburn is a burning sensation, usually centered in the middle of the chest near the sternum (breastbone), caused by the reflux of acidic stomach fluids that enter the lower end of the esophagus. Compare to Water Brash.
Water Brash is the regurgitation of an excessive accumulation of saliva from the lower part of the esophagus, often with some acid material from the stomach.
Heartburn and acid reflux are not only a persistent annoyances, they can also cause you sleepless, painful nights. Under the worst conditions, acid reflux can become chronic and can be a symptom of GERD or acid reflux disease. Both diseases can lead to permanent damage of your esophagus.
Persistent stomach acid left untreated, it is suggested, may lead to esophageal cancer. It is best to make sure you are treating the root cause of your heartburn and avoid acid reflux. Like you, many people want to avoid expensive and possibly dangerous medications (and their side effects) and surgery.
