Heart Burn

I have no idea. I have really bad heartburn tonight though. I have no idea why. I ate rice for dinner, so I don't know why I'd be getting heartburn.

I experience that burning sensation in the middle of the chest, it takes awhile before the pain finally disappear. I've asked my cousin who's a doctor and it has nothing to do with heart malfunction or anything to that effect. (thanked God!)..It maybe due to nervous tension or overindulgence in food and drink. I don't take any medications, i'm just watching my diet although there are times i can't help eating spicy foods.

food is the primary cause but it can be caused by emotion and stress It can also be travel caused In my case daughter caused LOL

I think it has something to do with stomak assid coming bak up, or something. Right now I'm suffering fom heart-burn that is so bad that my HEAD urts!! OL I you can beliee that.... It's driing me crazy!

There are several causes for getting heart burn. Eating foods that are heavily spiced can lead to heart burn. Also eating food that are greasy and high in fat can be a factor due to more acid being produced. Going long periods without food can cause heartburn due to the stomach producing acid that is not needed. Normally a person can tell when they get this kind of heartburn and simply eating will cure it. Eating any kind of food fast does not give the stomach much time to take care of the food and could also produce an abundance of acid. Treatment for heartburn could simply be a better diet. Other times a person could avoid eating heavy meals at night and not snacking before bed. Elevating the bed one to two inches could also reduce the risk of acid rising. Taking over the counter antacids is also a very common cure. Steering clear of caffeine right before bedtime or before laying down is a good idea and cutting caffeine intake down. I hope this helps a little.

I just read on here that white vinegar is supposed to work for heart burn. But if it happens too frequently you should really get checked for acid reflux disease. it is caused by the sphincter not closing properly and the acids that aid in the digestion of the food wash back up through the sphincter causeing the unconfortable pain.
