அதிக நெஞ்செரிச்சல் ஏன் ஏற்படுகிறது? Heartburn

GERD or Heartburn or Acid reflex - Easy and Quik Reference 



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



Causes

Heartburn occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube 

that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus).

Normally when you swallow, a band of muscle around the bottom 

of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow 

food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. 

Then the muscle tightens again.



If the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes abnormally or weakens, 

stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus (acid reflux)

 and cause heartburn. The acid backup may be worse when you're 

bent over or lying down.

Risk factors

Certain foods and drinks can trigger heartburn in some people, 

including:



*Spicy foods

*Tomato products, such as ketchup

*Fatty or fried foods

*Peppermint

*Chocolate

*Alcohol, carbonated beverages, coffee or other caffeinated beverages

*Large or fatty meals

*Being overweight or pregnant 

also can increase your risk of experiencing heartburn.
