Heartburn is felt as a burning
sensation behind the sternum or in the epigastrium. This is probably
the result of regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus and
irritation by the hyperacid contents causing burning sensation behind
the sternum. This is associated with water brash and pyrosis.
Acidity cause reflex hyper secretion of alkaline saliva, which collects
in the esophagus and is subsequently regurgitated in to the mouth
without any effort for vomiting. This is commonly associated with
duodenal ulcer. Some people are more susceptible than
others to acidity and heartburn as they have problem in digesting some foods.
Normally the stomach secretes an acid, which is essential for the
digestion. This acid helps in the breakdown of the food. When there is
excessive secretion of this acid by the stomach it results in heartburn.
Pregnant women suffer from heartburn
as the uterus presses on the digestive tract as the fetus grows.
Increased acidity with regurgitation causes some amount of oesophagitis
(inflammation of the esophagus), which increases the sensitiveness.
Acidity causes reflex increased secretion of alkaline saliva, which
accumulates in the esophagus and is rushed into the mouth without any
sensation of vomiting.
