Symptoms of heartburn include:
- A burning pain in the chest that usually occurs after eating and may occur at night
- Pain that worsens when bending over or lying down
Causes
Heartburn occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus).
Normally when you swallow, a band of muscle around the bottom of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. Then the muscle tightens again.
If the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus (acid reflux) and cause heartburn. The acid backup may be worse when you're bent over or lying down.
Risk factors
Certain foods and drinks can trigger heartburn in some people, including:
- Spicy foods
- Onions
- Fatty or fried foods
- Citrus products
- Tomato products, such as ketchup
- Peppermint
- Chocolate
- Alcohol, carbonated beverages, coffee or other caffeinated beverages
- Large or fatty meals
- Maintain a healthy weight. Excess pounds put pressure on your abdomen, pushing up your stomach and causing acid to back up into your esophagus.
- Avoid tight fitting clothing, which puts pressure on your abdomen and the lower esophageal sphincter.
- Avoid foods that trigger your heartburn.
- Avoid late meals.
- Avoid lying down right after a meal. Wait at least three hours.
- Elevate the head of your bed if you regularly experience heartburn at night or while sleeping. Raising your head with additional pillows usually isn't effective. If possible, insert a wedge between your mattress and box spring to elevate your body from the waist up.
- Avoid smoking. Smoking decreases the lower esophageal sphincter's ability to function properly.
