Heartburn is a condition in which a person feels the stomach burning feeling from the stomach to the chest or neck.

The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity, GERD, heartburn, peptic ulcer and corrosive esophagitis.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It is a condition that occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Factors that can contribute to GERD include chocolate, foods containing caffeine, foods such as spicy foods, fried foods, pregnancy or obesity, lying down after a meal, drinking alcohol, or smoking.

Corrosive Esophagitis: This is a condition that happens when harmful substances damage the esophagus. The esophagus is a pipe that connects the mouth to the stomach. The damage may cause ulcers, inflammation, or scarring. Possible causes include swallowing strong chemicals such as dishwashing liquid, detergents and drain cleaners, radiation therapy, and certain pills, including pain medicines and drugs for osteoporosis (weak bones).
