What Is Heartburn?

Heartburn is a common symptom of acid reflux, a condition where stomach acid flows backward into the esophagus. This can irritate the esophageal lining and cause a burning sensation in the chest or throat. Frequent or untreated heartburn may be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Common Heartburn Symptoms

Heartburn symptoms may include:

• Burning pain in the chest or upper abdomen

• Sour or bitter taste in the mouth

• Regurgitation of food or liquid

• Throat irritation or chronic cough

• Hoarseness

• Symptoms that worsen after eating or when lying down

Causes & Triggers of Heartburn

Heartburn may be triggered by:

• Spicy, fatty, or acidic foods

• Large meals

• Lying down soon after eating

• Caffeine or alcohol

• Smoking

• Pregnancy

• Obesity

• Certain medications

Identifying triggers is an important part of treatment.

Heartburn Evaluation at VybeMed

We evaluate heartburn by:

• Reviewing symptoms and frequency

• Assessing risk factors and medical history

• Determining whether symptoms suggest GERD or another condition

If needed, we guide further testing or referral.
