What is acid reflux, these are home remedies to get rid of it

Symptoms of Acid Reflux

Heartburn: This is a burning sensation or pain in the chest that usually occurs after meals and gets worse at night when lying down.
Acid reflux: Stomach acid may flow back into the mouth, causing belching and a sour taste.
Difficulty swallowing: The acid can irritate the esophagus, causing difficulty swallowing.
Sore throat or cough: The acid can irritate the throat, causing a cough or sore throat.
Chest pain: Chest pain can sometimes resemble the pain of a heart attack.

Severe symptoms of acid reflux

Regurgitation : This occurs when stomach acid and food come back up into the mouth.
Inflammation of the esophagus: Repeated exposure to acid can cause inflammation of the esophagus.
Ulcers in the esophagus: Acid can cause sores in the esophagus.
Narrowing of the esophagus: Over time, inflammation and ulcers can cause the esophagus to narrow, leading to difficulty swallowing.
Esophageal cancer: This is a condition in which the cells lining the lower part of the esophagus change, increasing the risk of esophageal cancer.

Causes of acid reflux

Lower esophageal sphincter (LES) weakness: The LES is a muscle that acts like a valve between the stomach and the esophagus. When the LES is weak, it allows stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.
Hiatal hernia: This occurs when the upper part of the stomach pushes into the chest through a hole in the diaphragm (rib muscle).
Overweight or obesity: Excess pressure on the abdomen can weaken the LES.
Pregnancy: The growing uterus can increase pressure on the abdomen, which may weaken the LES.
Smoking and alcohol: Smoking can weaken the LES and increase acid production. Alcohol can increase stomach acid production and weaken the LES.
Spicy foods: These foods can increase acid production in the stomach. Caffeine can weaken the LES.
