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
NIGHTTME 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:

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.
