Heart Burn Information

Heartburn is a painful burning sensation or a sour burning taste in the back of the throat. Heartburn is caused by excess stomach acid that begins in the top of the stomach and climbs up into the throat.

Heart Burn Causes

A muscle circles the bottom region of your esophagus allowing food and drinks to enter your stomach before it closes to keep out stomach acid. Unfortunately, the esophageal sphincter does not always relax properly and allows some acid into the esophagus.

Heart Burn Treatments

Treating a simple case of heartburn can be done with over the counter medications that are usually taken when the heartburn treatment is needed immediately. There are also heartburn treatment medications that can be prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Heart Burn Symptoms

Heartburn, or acid indigestion, is the excess release of stomach acid that then travels backward through the digestive system and up the esophagus. The acid causes a burning sensation in the cheast, leading to the term "heartburn."

Hay Fever Causes

Contrary to popular belief, the term "hay fever" does not mean that one is allergic to hay. It is also important to note that this condition does not cause a fever. Seasonal and year-round triggers are some of the most common hay fever causes.
