Acid Reflux (Heartburn)
Acid reflux, also known as heartburn, occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. If this happens frequently, it may be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes surgery can help manage the symptoms of acid reflux and prevent damage to the esophagus. This page provides information on the symptoms, risk factors, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for acid reflux and GERD.
