What is heartburn or acid reflux?

Heartburn or acid reflux occurs when stomach acid comes up from the stomach into the throat or esophagus.

It is a common digestive issue that can be triggered by various factors, including dietary choices and lifestyle habits.

  • Burning sensation in the chest or throat (heartburn)
