Heartburn occurs when acid from the stomach (which helps to digest food) flows back into the oesophagus (the tube which carries food from the mouth to the stomach). It usually causes a burning pain in the chest, just below the breastbone. Other symptoms include nausea, bloating, stomach pain, burping and wind.

Common causes are eating large meals, fatty, rich or spicy foods, eating too quickly, drinking too much alcohol or caffeine, smoking, wearing tight clothes and stress.

From the types of food you eat to your eating habits, there are a number of things you can do to reduce your risk of indigestion and improve your symptoms. For more information or to book at appointment, phone 9415 4845 or email reception@nnd.com.au
