Answers:
The term 'heartburn' is right on target. Of course you feel like something in your chest is burning. It is! Heartburn or Acid Reflux occurs when stomach acid containing hydrochloric acid (the stuff they use to clean metal with) moves up from the stomach into the esophagus, the tube between your stomach and your mouth. The lining of the stomach protects it from the effect of those powerfully acid digestive juices, but the esophagus has no such lining. So - when the acid hits - it burns like hell
This type of heartburn, the occasional event caused by overeating, spicy foods, too much alcohol, or medication - is usually called 'simple acid reflux'. However, when you are experiencing it, it's not simple at all. also, it can lead to more serious problems. Acid reflux occurs when the valve at the top of the stomach leaks, allowing acid and other material from the stomach to flow up and into the esophagus
Lying on your right side encourages stomach acid to wash into the esophagus
Elevate the head of your bed when sleeping or lying down
Some people would put hot compress and lie flat on their stomach to press the gas out. ...

GERD affects up to one third of the adult population of the U.S. However, not only adults are effected but even infants and children. Two major causes of the disease are people's diets and their sleeping habits
