Acid Reflux & Chest Pain: How to Know the Difference

Acid reflux, characterized by a burning sensation in the chest that rises up from the stomach, is a common digestive issue experienced by many. It occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter fails to close tightly, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Managing and preventing acid reflux involves a combination of lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication.
