Ever felt a slight pain and burning in your stomach that makes you stop from what you're doing until the pain subsides? It might be an acid reflux.

What is acid reflux?
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acids rise up into the esophagus because the valve that separates the stomach contents from the esophagus is problematic. There is sometimes confusion between acid reflux and heartburn and they are often used interchangeably. Nevertheless, acid reflux is the movement or the action of stomach acids going up the wrong way, while heartburn refers to the burning sensation that is felt from the stomach to the chest whenever this occurs.
Common causes of acid reflux include:

  • Large meals
  • Bad eating habits
  • Peptic ulcers
  • Low digestive enzymes
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol
  • Poor diet

To ensure that you don't experience recurring acid reflux in the future, you may try and take Losec Extra 20mg 28s.
