Hi, I am Dr Manzoor Ahmed Butt from Pakistan.

Today's question is

What is Heart Burn?

Heartburn is a common problem caused by acid reflux. Acid reflex is a condition where some of the stomach contents are forced back up into the esophagus. It creates a burning pain in the lower chest. Persistent acid reflux that happens more than twice a week is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

GERD affects people of all ages—from infants to older adults.

Acid reflux occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, allowing stomach acid to back up into your esophagus.


Follow these tips to help prevent heartburn:

Maintain a reasonable weight.

Avoid any foods and beverages that worsen your symptoms.

If you want to sleep at afternoon, sleep in chair.

Take your dinner 3 hours before sleeping

Wear clothes that are loose around the waist.

Eat smaller meals and try not to overeat.

Don't smoke.

Avoid constipation. Take lots of fires.

Get enough sleep and minimize stress.



What to Drink to ease burning : 

Herbal tea.

Low-fat milk.

Plant-based milk. For example, Soya milk

Fruit juice.

Water.

Coconut water.

Most people think anything that would help in belching would help in relieving heart burn. It is absolutely wrong. Therefore, do
not use  soft drinks to ease acid reflux.
