Hyperacidity

Introduction

Hyperacidity, also known as acid reflux or acid dyspepsia, is a condition where the stomach produces excessive acid, leading to symptoms like a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), sour taste in the mouth, bloating, nausea, and indigestion. It is commonly triggered by unhealthy eating habits such as consuming spicy or oily foods, skipping meals, overeating, stress, and excessive intake of caffeine or alcohol. Lifestyle factors like smoking and certain medications can also contribute. If not managed properly, hyperacidity can lead to more serious issues like ulcers or chronic gastritis, making early care and lifestyle changes important.
