Acid reflux is a common medical condition that can range in severity from mild to serious, and heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux.
What is acid reflux?
According to medical sources, at the entrance to your stomach there is a valve, which is a ring of muscle called the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. If the LES doesn’t close all the way or if it opens too often, acid produced by your stomach can move up into your oesophagus.
This can cause symptoms such as a burning chest discomfort called heartburn. If acid reflux symptoms occur more than twice a week, you may have acid reflux disease, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.
