Heartburn is basically a burning pain you feel in the chest, just behind the breastbone. In most cases, this pain is usually worse after you eat, when bending over or lying down, or at nighttime. Occasional heartburn is actually very common and most individuals could manage their symptoms with certain lifestyle adjustments and OTC medicines.
On the other hand, heartburn that occurs more frequently or significantly interferes with daily tasks might indicate a more serious problem that warrants medical attention. With this in mind, accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment is very vital. Here at the Houston Endoscopy and Research Center in Houston, TX, Dr. Vikram Jayanty can find out what’s causing your heartburn and recommend effective treatments to address your symptoms.
