HEALTH TIP- HEART BURNS

HEARTBURNS

A heartburn is a form of indigestion felt as a burning sensation in the chest caused by acid regurgitation into the oesophagus.

CAUSES
1. Some common foods that we eat and drink, stimulate increased stomach acid secretion setting the stage for heartburn. Over-the-counter medications also may precipitate heartburn. Examples of these irritants include:

    alcohol,
    caffeine,
    aspirin (Bayer, etc.),
    buprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin, etc.)
    Naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve)
    carbonated beverages,
    acidic juices (grapefruit, orange, pineapple)
    acidic foods (tomatoes, grapefruit, and oranges), and
    chocolate.

2. Smoking and the consumption of high-fat content foods tend to affect function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), causing it to relax from the stomach and allow acid to reflux into the esophagus.
3. A hiatal hernia where a portion of the stomach lies within the chest instead of the in abdomen, can affect the way the LES works and is a risk factor for reflux. Hiatal hernias by themselves cause no symptoms. It is only when the LES fails that heartburn occurs.
4. Pregnancy can cause increased pressure within theabdominal cavity and affect LES function and predispose it to reflux.
5. Obesity may also cause increased pressure in the abdomen, and thus reflux in the same way.
6. Primary diseases of the esophagus can also present with heartburn as a symptom.
   Some of these are the causes of heartburn
SOLUTIONS
1.When a simple heartburn is experienced, drink a lot of water and then cough out loud
2. Smoking should be seriously avoided as it increases the risk of getting an heartburn.
3. High level of consumption of acidic foods should be avoided.
4. Foods with high fat contents should be avoided also.
