Symptoms of Heart burn and Its Solution

Heartburn is a burning pain in your chest, just behind your breastbone.

The pain is often worse after eating, in the evening, or when lying down or bending over.

Heartburn is more common during pregnancy.

Most people get heartburn after meals, but can also awaken people while they are sleeping.

People also may experience heartburn after eating specific foods or drinking certain beverages.

It is an irritation of the esophagus, the tube that connects your throat and stomach.

It’s caused by stomach acid. This leads to a burning discomfort in your upper belly or below your breastbone.

Despite its name, heartburn has nothing to do with the heart. But some of the symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack or heart disease.

Occasional heartburn is common and no cause for alarm. Most people can manage the discomfort of heartburn on their own with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications.
