  • But not everyone knows that heartburn – not figurative, and the most real
    «fire» in the esophagus. And a mucosa burn threatens esophagitis, an ulcer of esophagus
    and other serious trouble. This is a painful feeling of burning in
    A throat or for the sternum appears when acidic content
    stomach instead of going down safely, in the intestine,
    Rises again upstairs, in the esophagus, the inner shell of which has
    Alkali environment. The result of this interaction, as we remember from the course
    High School – chemical reaction. And its consequence – mucous burn.
    This phenomenon is scientific name – reflux.

    Heartburn
    Most
    the frequent cause of its occurrence, if it is more easier, is that
    Valve, separating the esophagus and stomach, closes insufficiently tightly.
    If the bad condition of the valve threatens or has already led to dangerous
    Complications, an operation on the formation of fabrics can be made
    The patient's new, high-quality sphincter.

    But
    A considerable role in the emergence of heartburn plays and quite common
    Habit too tight nourished overnight. After all, small
    The dividing valve is very difficult to regularly withstand the grand
    pressure that has a huge surcharge lump
    End of digested food. In addition, heartburn often occurs in
    a certain position of the body: most often when tamped ahead or in
    horizontal position (especially if the head rests on low
    pillow). That's why sweet sleep immediately after a dense dinner often
    Call internal «fire» in the morning.

    Another reason for the appearance of heartburn –
    an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, because of which there is a reverse
    Purpose of gastric juice and food from the stomach in the esophagus. This happens
    overweight, meteorism, pregnancy, or when lifting weights.
    Pressure in the abdominal cavity can also provoke and wearing close
    clothes.
