What Is Heartburn & Indigestion?
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest or throat caused when stomach acid rises into the oesophagus. Indigestion (dyspepsia) describes upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, nausea and early fullness after eating. These conditions often occur after large meals, spicy foods, stress or lying down too soon after eating.

Heartburn is usually caused by acid reflux, where stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. Triggers include spicy foods, overeating, drinking alcohol, stress and lying down too soon after meals.
How fast do heartburn products work?
Antacids and alginates often work within minutes. Acid-reducing medicines may take several hours to reach full effect.
Can I take heartburn medication every day?
Occasional use is fine, but daily symptoms should be reviewed by a clinician to rule out underlying conditions.
What foods make heartburn worse?
Common triggers include fatty foods, citrus, tomatoes, coffee, spicy meals, alcohol and chocolate.
Do alginate-based suspensions help at night?
Yes. They form a protective layer that helps reduce reflux when lying down.
Are heartburn treatments safe during pregnancy?
Some are, but always check the product information and consult a clinician before use.
Can indigestion be a sign of something serious?
Indigestion is often harmless, but persistent symptoms, weight loss, difficulty swallowing or vomiting require urgent review.
