What is acid reflux?

La dottoressa Sarah Jarvis MBE, medico di medicina generale e direttrice clinica di Patient.info

When acid from the stomach leaks up into the gullet (oesophagus), the condition is known as acid reflux. This may cause heartburn and other symptoms.

Some people need long-term daily medication to keep symptoms away.
