The “heartburn” indicates the pain and the feelings of burn which start in the higher median part of the stomach and the chest. They are a symptom. Many people suffer from these pains and sometimes without knowing that the heartburn, when they are fréquantes, can be the sign of what is called the acid backward flow, or what is called scientifically the backward flow gatro-oesophagien.
When acid exit of the stomach goes back to the oesophagus, it occurs an acid backward flow then. What involves symptoms like the heartburn. Indeed, contrary to the mucous membrane which constitutes the stomach, the mucous membrane of the oesophagus is not made to be in contact with the acid and to resist it. The oesophagus can thus be to damage by this acidity which is not in its place.
If the gastric symptom and heartburn other appears two to three per week and without affecting the daily life, it will be then about an acid backward flow known as light. On the other hand, if the symptoms have persisted for six months, become a real constraint in the life of every days including the night, it will act rather of an acid backward flow engraves which would be likely to lead to other complications if it is ignored longer.
That it is of acid backward flow or its symptom, the heartburn, it is a question above all of maintaining a hygiene of life and dietary habits known as “healthy”, which have as bases the abolition of the too heavy meals, too fatty, the elimination of fizzy drinks, L reduction in the coffee, of the, of alcohol, the chocolate but also of the simple gestures like avoiding wearing too tight clothing, or trying to banish the cigarette.
