Is Acid Reflux Making Life Miserable? Help Is Available
Chronic acid reflux can interfere with your daily life and, if not treated, put your health at risk. Download our free guide for more information about reflux and treatments to relieve symptoms.
The burning sensation you feel during acid reflux is caused when a muscular valve at the top of your stomach fails to close properly, causing stomach acid to flow back up into your chest and throat via the esophagus. Without treatment, severe acid reflux can lead to esophagus damage (called Barrett’s esophagus).
