Heartburn, also known as acid indigestion, is a painful burning sensation in your chest or throat. It happens when stomach acid backs up into your esophagus, and is often worse when lying down or bending over.
Treating heartburn is important because over time reflux can damage the esophagus. Over-the-counter medicines may help. If the heartburn continues, you may need prescription medicines or surgery.
