What can be done to stop acid reflux and heartburn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be sure it's reflux!: Our brain can't tell the difference between painful signals from our heart, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver, pancreas, bile ducts of liver, and gallbladder. So pain that you think is 'acid reflux' could be illnesses of any of those organs. A good doctor will ask questions like what brings it on, makes it worse/better, how long it lasts, associated problems. See dr. For proper diagnosis/rx.
