What are acid reflux, heartburn & indigestion?

Acid reflux causes a burning sensation in the throat & chest. It occurs when stomach acids rise to the oesophagus due to its overproduction. Heartburn is a symptom of acid reflux. Indigestion or dyspepsia is an abdominal discomfort that causes bloating, nausea and early fullness after eating. These conditions accompany stress, large meals, spicy foods or lying down quickly after eating.
