Looking over the name, one can realize that heartburns are essentially caused by stomach acids that come up their way due to the relaxation of esophagus muscles, and not the heart. When there is irritation in your upper abdomen, which spreads on to your throat and mouth, you can be sure you are suffering from heartburns. If you think resting down a bit will get rid of heartburns, you are wrong; it could increase acid regurgitation in adults and pregnant ladies!! The presence of a heartburn is marked by nausea, burping, indigestion which intensifies if left uncared.

Swelling of esophagus creates a burning sensation which is associated with abdominal pain and bleeding. Avoid consumption of spicy, acidic foods, alcohol, tobacco and chocolates to prevent heartburns and indigestion problems. Coming soon, sign of heartburn.
