Heartburn
Pyrosis or heartburn is a burning, unpleasant or painful sense in the gullet felt just near the breastbone, which arose as a reason of gastric acid's regurgitation. The ache is commonly initiated in the chest and can be continued in throat, neck, or jaw angle. Heartburn is commonly classified as on of the reasons of permanent cough, it can even simulate asthma.
In fact, heartburn is by no means connected with the heart. It has received its name after the burning sense in breastbone area, the place where heart is situated, despite of the fact that some heart diseases possess a symptom equal to heartburn. The definition "heartburn" can have the origin in a proposition that hydrochloric acid from the abdominal area returns to the gullet as a result of the trouble with the cardiac sphincter, an organ, which includes the term "cardiac" (connected with heart) in its term. If heartburn happens when moving up the head of the bed or lifting up the upper part of the body with pillows or in process of sleep, sitting up can commonly help. Don't use pillows for the head only, as it contributes to heartburn and causes continuing strain for the neck. To make the cases of attacks rare, a patient can make advantage by avoiding particular meals which relax the aperture between the gullet and the stomach, as peppermint, chocolate, or chamomile tea prior to bedtime. A sufferer may also take such medicines as Prevacid, Prilosec and Nexium to help treating the condition.
