Gastroenterology
Heartburn is a burning pain in the chest caused by acid moving from the stomach into the esophagus. When it happens frequently, it’s called acid reflux - and when it becomes chronic, it’s known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
While occasional reflux is normal, repeated symptoms can affect your sleep, appetite, and confidence, and may even lead to esophageal inflammation over time.

Treatment may include lifestyle changes, acid-reducing medications, or minimally invasive procedures for severe cases.
