Acidity / Acid Reflux (GERD)
एसिडिटी / खट्टी डकार (गैस्ट्रिक रिफ्लक्स)
Acidity and acid reflux happen when stomach acid flows up into the food pipe, causing burning in the chest (heartburn), sour burps, and discomfort after meals. Occasional acidity is common; frequent or persistent reflux is called GERD. Most cases improve with eating habits, weight control, and avoiding triggers. Warning signs like difficulty swallowing, weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools need urgent medical attention.
