Do you have heartburn or acid reflux Los Angeles, CA? The terms heartburn and acid reflux are commonly used interchangeably, but heartburn is technically a symptom of acid reflux. Heartburn is a burning sensation that can move from your stomach to your chest and up to your throat. Other symptoms of acid reflux are regurgitation and dyspepsia. These symptoms most often occur after eating a heavy meal, while bending over, or when lying down, especially on your back. Acid Reflux is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
There are many things that can cause acid reflux. Stomach abnormalities, pregnancy, smoking, and being overweight are just a few of the different causes. Certain foods or drinks can make the symptoms of acid reflux worse.
