Acid reflux is a condition in which acid flows up from the stomach into the esophagus and throat, causing a burning sensation in the chest known as heartburn.
It happens when the lower esophageal sphincter (a muscle at the bottom of the esophagus) doesn’t close properly causing symptoms of acid reflux. Some of the common triggers and risk factors include
- Eating large meals
- Lying down immediately after a heavy meal
- Snacking close to bedtime
- Eating certain foods: Spicy foods, Garlic, Citrus etc.
Some of the associated symptoms include:
- Burning sensation in the chest and stomach
- Regurgitation (sour or bitter taste in the mouth)
- Difficulty in swallowing
- • Chest discomfort
Acid reflux treatments like Antacids, neutralize acids from the stomach. Best to use antacids containing magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide to help manage associated symptoms of diarrhea and constipation. Some other treatment options target coating of the stomach wall (Foaming agents: Gaviscon) and reduction of acid produced by the stomach (H2 Blockers: Pepcid)
