Heartburn

October 30, 2009 · Posted in health 

Have you noticed a burning sensation in your upper abdomen and chest? Well, don’t think of heart attack because I am talking about heartburn. What is heartburn? Heartburn doesn’t mean that your heart is on fire! Heartburn is an agonizing condition which involves the upper digestive system. The pain often emits from the central chest region. That’s why some people are confused of the symptoms of heartburn with a heart attack. Heartburn is the effect of stomach acids reacting strongly to certain foods during digestion. This stomach acid is forced up the vulnerable esophagus, which cause moderate to severe pain. It produces a lot of discomfort feelings. Heartburn may also be an indication of other problems, like inflammation of the esophagus or Gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is in short GERD. I don’t really like taking antacid whenever I experience heartburn. I’d rather take natural remedies, like baking soda and ginger root. There are natural and home remedies for heartburn such as garlic, papaya, banana, almonds, apple cider vinegar, ginger root, raw potato, aloe vera, cabbage, chamomile tea, and baking soda.
