Heartburn is the painful burning sensation caused by stomach acid rising past your lower esophageal sphincter (the muscle that closes and separates your esophagus from your stomach) and into your esophagus. The tissue of your esophagus is not meant to handle the pH of your stomach acid, which is what causes the discomfort. Many of those who frequently suffer from heartburn has a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). Luckily, you can take both immediate steps to alleviate current heartburn as well as long-term steps to reduce the frequency of symptoms. | Heartburn is the painful burning sensation caused by stomach acid rising past your lower esophageal sphincter (the muscle that closes and separates your esophagus from your stomach) and into your esophagus.
