There is acid naturally secreted in the stomach to digest food. When small amounts of this acid move up into the oesophagus or the tube which carries food from the mouth to stomach, it is called as reflux and heartburn occurs. This causes a burning sensation or pain behind the breast bone. Many people suffer from heartburn sometime or the other. Heartburn is a digestive problem – not a heart problem. It is related to the food you consume and posture. It is often treated by remedies for indigestion.
