Heartburn: Hints on Dealing With the Discomfort What is heartburn? Despite its name, heartburn doesn't affect the heart. Heartburn is a burning feeling in the lower chest, along with a sour or bitter taste in the throat and mouth. It usually occurs after eating a big meal or while lying down. The feeling can last for a few minutes or a few hours. What causes heartburn? When you eat, food passes from your mouth down a tube (about 10 inches long in most people) called the esophagus. To enter the stomach, the food must pass through an opening between the esophagus and stomach. This opening acts like a gate to allow food to pass into the stomach. Usually, this opening closes as soon as food passes through. But if it doesn't close, acid from your stomach can get through the opening and into your esophagus. This is called reflux. Stomach acid can irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn. What is hiatal hernia? Hiatal hernia is a condition in which part of the stomach is pushed up through the diaphragm (the muscle wall between the stomach and chest) and into the chest. Sometimes this causes heartburn. Things that can make heartburn worse * Cigarette smoking * Coffee (both regular and decaffeinated) and other drinks that contain caffeine * Alcohol * Citrus fruits * Tomato products * Chocolate, mints or peppermints * Fatty foods or spicy foods (pizza, chili, curry) * Onions * Excess weight * Aspirin or ibuprofen (one brand name: Motrin) * Some other medicines (check with your doctor) Can heartburn be serious? If you only have heartburn now and then, it's probably not serious. However, if you have heartburn frequently, it can lead to esophagitis (an inflamed lining of the esophagus). If esophagitis becomes severe, your esophagus might narrow and you might have bleeding or trouble swallowing. If you get more than occasional heartburn, it may be a symptom of acid reflux disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), an inflamed stomach lining (gastritis), hiatal hernia or peptic ulcer. Tips on preventing heartburn * Place 4- to 6-inch blocks under the legs at the head of your bed to raise it. * Try to eat at least 2 to 3 hours before lying down. If you take naps, try sleeping in a chair. * Lose weight if you're overweight. * Don't overeat. * Eat high-protein, low-fat meals. * Avoid tight clothes and tight belts. * Avoid foods and other things that give you heartburn. Will antacids take care of heartburn? Antacids neutralize the acid that your stomach makes. For most people, antacids that you can get without a prescription (over-the-counter) give fast, short-term relief. However, antacids can cause diarrhea or constipation. Look for antacids that contain both magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. (One causes constipation while the other causes diarrhea so they counteract each other.) Some brands of antacids include Maalox, Mylanta and Riopan. Follow the directions on the package. What if my symptoms get worse? If lifestyle changes and antacids don't help your symptoms, talk with your doctor. Your doctor may want you to take medicine or schedule you for some tests. Tests might include x-rays to check for ulcers, a pH test to check for acid in the esophagus, or an endoscopy to check for other conditions. During an endoscopy, your doctor looks into your stomach through a long, thin tube which is inserted down your esophagus. Your doctor may also check for H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause ulcers. What about medicines for heartburn? Several kinds of medicine can be used to treat heartburn. H2 blockers (some brand names: Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac) reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Several are available without a prescription. Other medicines, such as omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) and lansoprazole (brand name: Prevacid), also reduce how much acid the stomach makes. Metoclopramide (brand name: Reglan) reduces acid reflux. To find out what medicine is right for you, talk with your doctor.
