Navigating heartburn and acid reflux is key for digestive comfort.
Heartburn, a result of stomach acid reaching the oesophagus, feels like a burning sensation in the chest. Triggered by factors like spicy or fatty foods, managing heartburn involves lifestyle adjustments and watching meal timing.
Acid reflux, a broader condition, includes occasional acid flow into the oesophagus, often manifesting as heartburn. Proactive measures include maintaining an upright position after meals, opting for smaller meals, and considering over-the-counter options like Nexium or Emazole.
