Heartburn is a burning pain in your chest. It occurs when stomach acids back up into one’s esophagus or food pipe. This can happen when the muscle found at the bottom of the food pipe, which relaxes to let food pass and then tightens up again, behaves abnormally or erratically. The pain sometimes gets worse immediately after eating heavy meals or lying down. Occasional heartburns can be controlled by certain lifestyle changes at an individual level. Certain foods that can cause heartburns include chocolates, onions, fried or spicy foods, alcohol, etc. Heartburns are also a common issue among pregnant women due to hormonal changes and the fact that the baby is pressing the stomach. However, frequent heartburns can be a cause of concern as they can interfere with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Certain remedies advised to help with the burning sensation include wearing loose-fitted clothes, avoiding eating a few hours before sleeping, avoiding fatty foods, quitting smoking, and maintaining an overall balanced diet. Understanding the underlying cause of heartburns is important to get proper treatment for this condition. Your doctor may ask you to get multiple tests to get to know the reason behind frequent heartburns
