Why do i get heartburn so often?!


Question: Why do i get heartburn so often.?
Answers:
Are you carrying any extra weight in your mid-section.? Do you find that certain foods trigger it.? Smoke.? Drink alcohol.? These are some common factors but sometimes none of these come into play and we still get it. Don't lie down for several hours after eating. Start looking at what you ate before you got it. You may have GERD or acid reflux where the acid is backing up. In severe cases, a surgery can be performed but most people just need some lifestyle changes and maybe a medication. The OTC ones don't work as well as the Rx ones but give some a try while you try to figure out what is going on. It's no fun for sure. Health Question & Answer

Lots of reasons....wrong food, being worried or stressed about things.

You could try an over the counter medication called Ranitidine. This reduces acid production rather than neutralising it like many of the 'chalky' acid indigestion remedies which can cause over production of acid if used to frequently.

If your symptoms persist, or you notice other bowel changes (diarrhoea, constipation, blood in stools etc) then you should see your Dr just to check things out.Health Question & Answer

I also suffer from severe heartburn. I am on prescription drugs which work very well, your GP will advise. I have had an endoscopy to find out why but no problem was found, sometimes a valve within the stomach aperture can be the reason. Seek help from your GP as this condition can be very discomforting.
