Acidity

What is acidity?

Acidity, commonly known as acid reflux or heartburn, is a widespread digestive issue that can affect people of all ages. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and a burning sensation. While occasional acidity is normal, persistent symptoms may indicate a more severe condition, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 

What causes acidity?

Some common causes are

  • Unhealthy Eating Habits:
    • Consuming large meals or heavy snacks
    • Eating too quickly
    • Consuming spicy, oily, or acidic foods
  • Lifestyle Factors:
    • Lack of physical activity
    • Irregular sleep patterns
    • Excessive stress
  • Medical Conditions:
    • Hiatal hernia
    • Obesity
    • Pregnancy

What are its common symptoms?

  • Heartburn:
    • A burning sensation in the chest, often after eating
  • Regurgitation:
    • Sour taste in the mouth due to stomach acid backing up
  • Dyspepsia:
    • Discomfort and pain in the upper abdomen
  • Difficulty Swallowing:
    • Feeling of a lump in the throat or difficulty swallowing

How to manage acidity?

  • Dietary Changes:
    • Consume smaller, more frequent meals
    • Avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods
    • Limit caffeine and alcohol intake
  • Lifestyle Modifications:
    • Maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise
    • Practice stress-reduction techniques like meditation or yoga
    • Elevate the head of your bed if symptoms worsen at night
  • Over-the-Counter Medications:
    • Antacids for immediate relief
    • H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors for long-term management 
  • Natural Remedies:
    • Ginger and chamomile tea may help soothe the digestive system
    • Aloe vera juice may have anti-inflammatory properties
  • Hydration:
    • Drink plenty of water to help neutralize stomach acid
  • Identifying Triggers:
    • Keep a food diary to identify specific foods or activities that trigger acidity

When to seek medical attention?

While lifestyle changes and over-the-counter remedies often provide relief, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional if:

  • Symptoms persist despite lifestyle modifications
  • There's difficulty swallowing or persistent vomiting
  • Weight loss and fatigue accompany acidity
