Heartburn or heartburn is a sensation of burning in the pit of the stomach that it tends to climb upwards, reaching the throat and leaving a bitter aftertaste or acid. It usually occurs an hour after eating.
Once this feeling we have all experienced due to the consumption of certain foods or certain drugs (antihypertensives, oral contraceptives, anxiolytics, etc.) or specific situations such as pregnancy. The problem arises when the heartburn appears frequently and continuously, in this case we have a problem of gastroesophageal reflux.
