What Is Heartburn?
Heartburn is often described as a burning sensation in
the chest. Some people describe heartburn as leaving an acidic, bitter taste.
When acid from the stomach flows upwards into the esophagus, Heartburn is
caused. The stomach has a lining that protects it from the acid but esophagus
is delicate and easily gets irritated by acid. Heartburn that occurs at
night is known as Nighttime Heartburn.
Heartburn is the result of this irritation which may be the painful, like
burning feeling. Many people get heartburn on occasion. But persistent heartburn
takes two or more days a week despite treatment and diet changes could be
acid reflux disease.
Persistent heartburn is the most common symptom of acid reflux disease,
but other possible symptoms are:
Belching or regurgitation
And even chest pain not related to your heart
A sour taste in your mouth, caused by refluxing acid
Persistent coughing or hoarseness
An upset stomach, or
Difficulty swallowing
It’s important to consult with your doctor if you have any symptoms
of this disease.
Acid reflux disease is often a chronic condition that can lead to serious
complications.
Protonix helps to control Nighttime heartburn and other
symptoms associated with erosive GERD. Of course, only a doctor can determine
if you have erosive esophagitis; this medicine is a proton pump inhibitor
(PPI). Acid production in the stomach is blocked when this medicine works.
Antibiotics including amoxicillin or clarithromycin may be used in combination
with this medicine for treatment of certain types of ulcers. It can also
be used in other circumstances for treatment, as if determined by your doctor. |
