How do I get rid of acid reflux?
ONE in five people in the UK suffers from acid reflux. Acid reflux occurs when your lower oesophagal sphincter relaxes at the wrong time allowing stomach acid to travel back into the oesophagus. The main symptoms of acid reflux are a burning sensation in your best and an unpleasant taste in your mouth. Other symptoms include hiccups, a hoarse voice, bad breath and bloating. There are lifestyle changes that you can take on which could help stop or reduce acid reflux. Acid reflux can last anywhere from a couple of minutes to hours - depending on the cause. If you find yourself suffering from prolonged acid reflux, speak with your doctor who might determine the underlying cause so you can get some relief. There are over the counter medications to help ease the symptoms of acid reflux such as antacids.
