Having occasional heartburn attacks is quite common for most individuals. It, which is also known as pyrosis, is a burning or painful sensation in the esophagus that is commonly caused by the regurgitation of gastric acid. This condition is noted to be one of the causes of mimic asthma and chronic cough.

It is oftentimes falsely associated with heart disease or condition like heart attack. In fact, it has really nothing to do with the heart. Some people think as such for the burning sensation is felt at the breastbone, the spot where the heart is located.

Causes of heartburn

Certain foods and drinks

1. Chocolate
2. Spicy food
3. Sodas (carbonated beverages)
4. Citrus juices and fruits
5. Garlic
6. Wine
7. Tomato sauces
8. Peanuts

Psychosomatic causes

1. Fatigue
2. Stress

Drugs

1. Cocaine
2. Caffeine
3. Alcohol

If one is suffering from acid reflux, a doctor will immediately recommend the most common treatment, which is Antacids. This medication will surely neutralize a person's acidity in the stomach.

Moreover, treatments for those who have chronic acid reflux attacks vary, including endoscopy. The said test further analyzes and determines the true cause of the condition. This way, patients will know if there are other complications associated with their acid reflux attacks.

A person can eat as many apple as he can without having to worry about any detrimental side effect. Experts claim that an apple effectively neutralizes acid inside the body. Plus this delicious fruit is known to be rich in vitamins and minerals, thus, helping the body to become fit and healthy.

2. Drink Aloe Vera juice or distilled white vinegar.

Aloe Vera juice is one of the most common natural remedies for acid reflux. One is sure to have instant relief to acid reflux with just a few ounces of this juice. This juice is widely available at local supermarkets and food stores.

As for distilled white vinegar, some people regard this as a great natural cure for heartburn. Once the burning feeling begins to well up, one should drink a tablespoon of this vinegar to immediately ease the pain of acid reflux.

3. Avoid foods that can trigger it.

Probably the best way to avoid acid reflux attacks is to simply refrain from eating too much food that are known to trigger the said condition. Maintaining a healthy diet as well as eating in moderation will surely keep one from having acid reflux problems.
