What is heartburn?

Heartburn happens when your stomach acid flows back into your esophagus, or food pipe. This causes an uncomfortable burning feeling in your chest that can move up to your neck and throat. You may also have a bitter or sour taste in the back of your throat. Heartburn can last from a few minutes to several hours, and often feels worse after you eat.

Occasional heartburn is common, and can usually be relieved by over-the-counter antacids. The condition is also known as acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), acid indigestion, and reflux.

If you have heartburn often and it is severe, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). If this is the case, talk to your doctor.

  • A burning feeling in the chest just behind the breastbone that happens after eating and lasts a few minutes to several hours
