Home > Heartburn


Heartburn, also medically refered to as pyrosis, is a painful burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone. The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck or throat.

Most people have experienced occasional heartburn. However, frequent, ongoing heartburn, may indicate the more serious condition of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
