Learn how to treat your heart burn.
Hey! According to the Health Care Association, Heart burn 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. Heart burn is generally related to meals and posture. On rare occasions, it is due to gastritis (stomach lining inflammation).
Pain from the heart is also felt in the chest and sometimes in the upper abdomen. There are two kinds of heart pain. The first, angina, is a pain in the chest due to a temporary shortage of oxygen being carried in the blood to the heart muscle. Angina should be suspected if the chest pain is brought on by exercise and relieved by rest. The second is the more severe and prolonged pain of a heart attack. A heart attack should be suspected if the pain is felt intensely in the centre of the chest, spreading perhaps to one or both arms (especially the left) and into the lower jaw; or feels like a heavy pressure or is ‘vice-like’.
If heart burn occurs when lying down, raising the head with pillows or sitting up frequently provides relief - although care must be taken to avoid placing continuous strain on the neck. Avoidance of certain foods shortly before bedtime is frequently advised to avoid future attacks.
The good news is that you follow the following steps to prevent or better
manage or reduce your chances of having another disease. Lifestyle changes,
such as choosing foods wisely and being exercise, as well as taking medication
can help you.
