THE INSIDE STORY ON HEARTBURN
Heartburn (AKA acid indigestion) is a hot or burning sensation felt at the base of the sternum or breastbone. Heartburn may be mild and intermittent, but it may also be severe and be felt in other parts of the body. Fearing heart attack, sufferers often seek help in hospital emergency rooms. Daily heartburn is a common experience affecting about 7-10% of our population. Heartburn, however, does not involve the heart at all. It is caused by a back flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. Swallowed food normally travels down the esophagus from the mouth to the stomach through a one-way valve called the esophageal sphincter. In certain situations, the valve may not function properly and the stomach contents may escape upward (acid reflux). A protective barrier of saliva, mucous and other fluids coats the esophagus and stomach. Heartburn occurs when this barrier fails. Symptoms in addition to burning may be nausea, increased belching, feeling bloated, and persistent sore throat. These usually occur 1-2 hours after eating and may last several hours.

Additional Information on Gerd
What Is GERD?
Heartburn is an expression of a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a
phenomenon in which acid and pepsin rise from the stomach into the esophagus.
Heartburn or Heart Attack?

It's important to consider the possibility that chest pain may mean a heart attack instead of heartburn.
Find out how you can tell the difference between heartburn and a heart attack. It can be very helpful
to know the exact gerd symptoms and that of a heart attack.
Causes of Reflux

Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter is weak or relaxes inappropriately, allowing contents of the stomach to flow up into the esophagus. Learn more about the causes of gerd. Foods that Cause Heartburn Alcohol can irritate the esophageal lining and loosen the lower esophageal sphincter, as can coffee and other caffeine-containing products. These products and others can lead to gerd.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
(GERD, Acid Reflux)
Medical Author: Jay W. Marks, M.D.
Medical Editor: Leslie J. Schoenfield, M.D., Ph.D. What is GERD (acid reflux)?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD, or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up, or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus although this occurs in a minority of patients. The regurgitated liquid usually contains acid and pepsin that are produced by the stomach. (Pepsin is an enzyme that begins the digestion of proteins in the stomach.) The refluxed liquid also may contain bile that has backed-up into the stomach from the duodenum. (The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine that attaches to the stomach.) Acid is believed to be the most injurious component of the refluxed liquid. Pepsin and bile also may injure the esophagus, but their role in the production of esophageal inflammation and damage (esophagitis) is not as clear as the role of acid. GERD is a chronic condition. Once it begins, it usually is life-long. If there is injury to the lining of the esophagus (esophagitis), this also is a chronic condition. Moreover, after the esophagus has healed with treatment and treatment is stopped, the injury will return in most patients within a few months. Once treatment for GERD is begun, therefore, it usually will need to be continued indefinitely.

: Heartburn What is heartburn?
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the throat or chest that is caused by the upward movement of acid from the stomach into the esophagus. It occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular opening between the stomach and the esophagus, opens after a meal. What are the signs and symptoms?
You may experience a burning sensation in your throat or chest, a chronic cough, a bitter or sour taste in your mouth or belching. The symptoms may be worse after eating. Bending over or lying down may aggravate the symptoms. What is the treatment for heartburn?
Treatment varies from changing your diet to prescription medication. Some foods may weaken the LES and cause heartburn. Avoiding some of the following foods may decrease your symptoms: chocolate, peppermint, fried or fatty foods, citrus juices, tomato products, coffee and alcoholic beverages. Antacids, such as Mylanta, may neutralize the gastric acid and decrease the discomfort. Prescription medications are available and should be taken as instructed by your clinician. How long will it take to heal?

Lately I've felt a terrible burning sensation after eating. Is it heartburn?
During pregnancy, the placenta produces the hormone progesterone, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the uterus. This hormone also relaxes the valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach, allowing gastric acids to seep back up the pipe, which causes that unpleasant burning sensation. Progesterone also slows down the wavelike contractions of the stomach, making digestion sluggish. In later pregnancy, your growing baby crowds your abdominal cavity, slowing elimination and pushing up the stomach acids to cause heartburn. Many women start getting heartburn and indigestion in the second half of pregnancy. Unfortunately, it usually comes and goes until your baby is born.

Even sleeping sitting up isn't working anymore. Thanks! Jill Papaya extract worked great for me, even better than Tums (what the doctor recommended). It's natural, tastes good, and you can take it with every meal as a preventitive measure. You can get it at any health food store, or grocery store like Berkeley Bowl or Whole Foods. I used to buy it in a convenient roll size (just like Certs!) at Lakeshore Natural Foods on Lakeshore in Oakland. JL I had terrible heartburn in the second half of my pregnancy. Although I never found anything to give complete relief, small amounts of yoghurt (especially just before bed) and Tums got me through the worst parts. Helen you can try papaya enzyme tablets, available at natural grocery stores. they're chewable, tasted ok, and worked okay (not all the time, but sometimes) during my pregnancy. jessica zacher

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Consumer Inquiries: 888-INFO-FDA
FDA Approves Prilosec OTC to Treat Frequent Heartburn
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the approval of Prilosec OTC (omeprazole), the first over-the-counter treatment for frequent heartburn. "Today’s approval of over-the-counter Prilosec is yet another example of the important role FDA serves in improving access to safe and effective treatments for conditions that people can treat themselves,” said Mark B. McClellan, M.D., Ph.D., Commissioner of Food and Drugs. “As has been the case for many other over-the-counter switches, the availability of Prilosec OTC will help reduce costs and expand the availability of treatment options for millions of Americans.” Unlike the two classes of currently marketed over-the-counter heartburn treatments, antacids and acid reducers, Prilosec OTC is indicated for the treatment of heartburn that occurs two or more days per week (frequent heartburn). It stops acid production at its source in the stomach. Prescription Prilosec is currently widely prescribed for frequent heartburn and other related, but more serious, problems that need the care of a physician. Antacids and acid reducers, which have long been available over-the-counter, are used for the relief of acute heartburn symptoms. Acid reducers are additionally used for the prevention of meal-induced heartburn.

Heartburn is an uncomfortable but common feeling of burning or warmth in the chest. Although the pain of heartburn is felt in the chest, heartburn has nothing to do with your heart. Instead, heartburn is caused by stomach acid.
Continual bouts of heartburn can be a symptom of a more serious condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Frequent or severe heartburn may limit your daily activities and lead to further complications such as ulcers in your esophagus. With proper understanding of heartburn and treatment, you can obtain relief from this condition. About 30% of adults experience occasional heartburn, while 10% experience heartburn every day.

Heartburn
Definition
Heartburn 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. On rare occasions, it is due to gastritis (stomach lining inflammation). Description
More than one third of the population is afflicted by heartburn, with about one tenth afflicted daily. Infrequent heartburn is usually without serious consequences, but chronic or frequent heartburn (recurring more than twice per week) can have severe consequences. Accordingly, early management is important. Understanding heartburn depends on understanding the structure and action of the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube connecting the throat to the stomach. It is about 10 in long in adults, lined with squamous (plate-like) epithelial cells, coated with mucus, and surrounded by muscles that push food to the stomach by sequential waves of contraction (peristalsis). The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a thick band of muscles that encircles the esophagus just above the uppermost part of the stomach. This sphincter is usually tightly closed and normally opens only when food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. Thus, the contents of the stomach are normally kept from moving back into the esophagus. The stomach has a thick mucous coating that protects it from the strong acid it secretes into its interior when food is present, but the much thinner esophageal coating doesn't provide protection against acid. Thus, if the LES opens inappropriately or fails to close completely, and stomach contents leak into the esophagus, the esophagus can be burned by acid. The resulting burning sensation is called heartburn.

What's the best way to treat acid reflux?
By William Brantley
Posted Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2003, at 9:14 AM PT
Listen
to this story on NPR's Day to Day Acid reflux occurs when digestive acid from the belly sneaks past the lower esophageal sphincter—the muscular flap between the stomach and the esophagus—into the upper chest or throat and causes an unpleasant fiery sensation, commonly known as heartburn. Left untreated, the acid can corrode the lining of the esophagus and cause a condition called Barrett's esophagus, known to lead to cancer. That's the long-term problem. The short term's no fun either. The most common torture of my domestic life used to be waking in the night to find that my bedside stash of Tums was tapped out. Finally, after a gantlet of holiday parties a few years ago, I saw a doctor, and he tuned me in to the powers of prevention. Tums and other antacids are to heartburn what breath mints are to halitosis: They provide immediate and temporary relief, but they don't address the root of the problem. Prevention usually involves treating your body more like a temple and less like a fraternity house: Cut down on fried foods and alcohol; quit smoking; eliminate unnecessary stress; exercise; give yourself three hours to digest a meal before lying down.

It happens most frequently after eating or when you lie down. You may prevent or achieve relief from heartburn by Standing/sitting upright, particularly after eating for about two hours.

Heartburn during Pregnancy
What is heartburn?
Heartburn refers to "acid indigestion," a burning feeling in the lower part of the chest behind your breastbone. You may have the feeling of food coming back into your mouth, with a sour or bitter taste. Heartburn does not mean that anything is wrong with your heart.
How does it occur?
Changes in your body during pregnancy may cause or worsen heartburn. The increase in hormones early in your pregnancy can cause heartburn. It is more common, however, during the last months of pregnancy, when the growing baby presses against your stomach and your hormones are at high levels. One in four pregnant women have heartburn daily. Food travels from your mouth down your esophagus to the stomach. Between your esophagus and stomach there is a muscular ring. This muscular ring opens to allow food to pass from the esophagus into the stomach. It then closes to prevent food from backing up into the esophagus. Heartburn occurs when this muscular ring does not close tightly. The ring may not close tightly because of the changes in your hormones. Or, the baby may be pressing against the lower part of your stomach, forcing the ring to open slightly.
