Heartburn is commonly a kind of pain and burning sensation in the chest and stomach, behind breastbone. It usually causes while the hydrochloric acid, that is basically used to digest the food items, releases up the esophagus. This way the acid irritates all the sensitive tissues in throat and the esophagus. Commonly, the esophageal sphincter muscle comes around thus blocking the stomach acid from shooting into esophagus. If this muscle does not work in a proper way, the acid can slip past and can result in the symptom of heartburn. This kind of disease is also known as the Gastroesophageal reflux disease, the dyspepsia, acid indigestion or chronic heartburn. The common symptoms of this disease are: gas, bloating, nausea, sour or acidic taste in the mouth and throat and shortness of the breath. If not treated on time, the repeated heartburn can lead to scar and can create changes in cells lining which can result in cancer in the later life.
