Many people after the age of 30-40 periodically suffer from heartburn caused by acid reflux. Gastroenterologists explained how to quickly get rid of this unpleasant condition.

According to a gastroenterologist-hepatologist, it is possible to remove the symptoms of heartburn without the help of a doctor, but the causes lie in the wrong lifestyle. First of all, the expert recommends giving up bad habits: smoking and alcohol abuse disrupt the acid balance and lead to the release of gastric juice into the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

“You can also lose weight, put something under the legs of the bed to the head end was higher, avoid tight belts, corsets,” the doctor added.

If your health worsens every day, then it is better not to delay the visit to the doctor. Harmless symptoms can often indicate the presence of more serious ailments, such as peptic ulcer disease or gastritis.

In some cases, a person can develop a tumor of the digestive system, which causes heartburn, acid belching, sudden weight loss and bloating. Early diagnosis of this type of cancer significantly increases the chances of survival.
