Heart Burn
Heart burn - known medically as pyrosis - is a burning sensation or uncomfortable feeling of heat behind the chest, that usually results when stomach acids back up into the esophagus. It usually is encountered when lying down or after eating. Heart burn has nothing to do with the heart although people suffering pain in that region may confuse it with a heart problem. It may occur when eating too much/ too fast, if a person is suffering stress, or just producing too much acid. |
