MAIN SEARCH INDEX Heartburn Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest that can extend to the neck, throat, and face; it is worsened by bending or lying down. It is the primary symptom of gastroesophageal reflux, which is the movement of stomach acid into the esophagus. On rare occasions, it is due to gastritis (stomach lining inflammation). Description More than one third of the population is afflicted by heartburn, with about one tenth afflicted daily. Infrequent heartburn is usually without serious consequences, but chronic or frequent heartburn (recurring more than twice per week) can have severe consequences. Accordingly, early management is important. Understanding heartburn depends on understanding the structure and action of the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube connecting the throat to the stomach. It is about 10 in (25 cm) long in adults, lined with squamous (plate-like) epithelial cells, coated with mucus, and surrounded by muscles that push food to the stomach by sequential waves of contraction (peristalsis). The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a thick band of muscles that encircles the esophagus just above the uppermost part of the stomach. This sphincter is usually tightly closed and normally opens only when food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. Thus, the contents of the stomach are normally kept from moving back into the esophagus. The stomach has a thick mucous coating that protects it from the strong acid it secretes into its interior when food is present, but the much thinner esophageal coating doesn't provide protection against acid. Thus, if the LES opens inappropriately or fails to close completely, and stomach contents leak into the esophagus, the esophagus can be burned by acid. The resulting burning sensation is called heartburn.

Home Page Discussions Other Health Articles Disease Information Center ... Support Groups Acid Reflux and Heartburn About the author Dr. Minocha ( http://www.diagnosishealth.com/minocha.htm ) is the Professor of Medicine and Director, Division of Digestive Diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS, and is the author of How to Stop Heartburn; Simple Ways to Heal Heartburn and Acid Reflux CONCEPTS Gastroesophageal reflux is a normal phenomenon. It typically occurs transiently after eating. Gastro esophageal reflux disease(GERD) is the condition where degree of exposure of esophageal mucosa to gastric contents is greater than normal. The most common symptom is heartburn but patients may have other symptoms. The modern concept of reflux esophagitis appears to emerge in a publication by Winkelstein in 1935 when he said: Ò One canÕt escape the suspicion that the disease in these cases is possibly a peptic esophagitis i.e. an esophagitis occurring as a result of acid and pepsinÓ. You may ask: So what is the big deal. Well folks, It really is a big deal. Did U know that according 1988 survey, more than 61 million or44% of adult Americans suffer at least once monthly. Did you know that as many as 13% of adult Americans reported taking antacids two or more times per week. As many as 7% of adult Americans have daily occurrence of heart burn. As such, you would agree with me that this disorder has potential for considerable morbidity and socio-economic consequences.

132. The Ridgeway Surgery: Heartburn And Pregnancy heartburn and pregnancy. heartburn is a burning sensation the acid from splashing up. To minimise heartburn try the following suggestions. http://www.ridgeway-surgery.demon.co.uk/pregnant/heartbur.htm

Heartburn and pregnancy Heartburn is a burning sensation felt behind the breast bone when acid from the stomach's digestive juices splashes up into the oesophagus (gullet). Most people experience heartburn from time to time; in pregnancy it can become frequent and over half of all pregnant women experience symptoms. There are a number of reasons why heartburn is more common in pregnancy; the baby is growing which puts some extra pressure on the stomach but more importantly the hormonal changes of pregnancy relax the muscle at the top of the stomach that usually stops the acid from splashing up. To minimise heartburn try the following suggestions. Avoid eating large meals; try and break you food intake into smaller, more manageable portions. Avoid having a lot to drink with meals. You swallow more air when you drink with meals and this can aggravate heartburn when it subsequently comes up again. Avoid alcohol and drinks containing caffeine (coffee, tea, cola) because these too relax the muscle at the top of the stomach holding the acid in. Avoid lying down or stooping immediately after meals and sit in a comfortable upright position rather than slouching.

Heartburn is a burning feeling in the lower chest, along with a sour or bitter taste in the throat and mouth. Heartburn also is called acid reflux disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). You might get heartburn after eating a big meal or while you are lying down. The feeling can last for a few minutes or a few hours. What causes heartburn? When you eat, food goes from your mouth down a tube in your throat called the esophagus (say: eh-sof-ah-gus). To enter the stomach, the food must go through an opening between the esophagus and the stomach. This opening acts like a gate to let food go into the stomach. The opening to the stomach closes as soon as food goes through. If the opening does not close, stomach acid comes back through the opening and up into the esophagus. This is called reflux. The stomach acid irritates the esophagus and is the cause of heartburn pain.

136. Aciphex.com - What Is Heartburn? Everything you need to know about heartburnthe most common symptom of GERD and erosive GERD. heartburn is the most frequent symptom of erosive GERD. http://www.aciphex.com/3_whatish.asp

Heartburn is the most frequent symptom of erosive GERD. Heartburn typically feels like a burning pain or discomfort behind your chest that moves upward to your throat. You may also have a bitter or sour taste of acid in the back of your throat, as well as other symptoms, such as burping and bloating. The pressure and burning pain of heartburn can occur frequently and generally become worse after eating, while lying down at night, or when bending over. How Common Is Heartburn? Almost everyone has occasional symptoms of heartburn. In fact, more than 60 million Americans have heartburn at least once a month, and some studies have suggested that over 15 million Americans have heartburn each day. However, frequent heartburn (two or more times a week), or other symptoms that do not improve with antacids or other over-the-counter medications, may be a sign of a more severe problem, such as erosive GERD. When Does Heartburn Occur? During the day, frequent heartburn after meals is common for erosive GERD sufferers. When you eat, special cells in your stomach start producing more acid to help digest food. Nighttime heartburn is also very common. Heartburn occurs more frequently at night because the acid stays in your esophagus longer when you are lying down than when you are standing. In an upright position, the force of gravity helps to push the acid back into your stomach. When acid stays in your esophagus for a long period of time, such as during sleep or while lying down, more damage can occur.
