What is HEART BURN?

Heartburn is the burning sensation which is felt in the chest. This is the most common symptom of a condition called Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) or acid reflux. A valve-like structure, known as the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES), is located at the end of the food pipe which opens during swallowing to allow food to pass into the stomach. The LES muscle then closes quickly to prevent the return (reflux) of food and stomach juices back into the esophagus.
