Internal Heartburn Treatment
Heartburn is a burning feeling in the lower chest, along with a sour or bitter taste in the throat and mouth.
Heartburn happens when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus, the tube that carries food from mouth to stomach. It usually occurs after eating a big meal or while lying down. The feeling can last for a few minutes or a few hours.

I have had problems with heartburn on and off for years. However, it really became a big problem for me while I was pregnant (during both of my pregnancies). I was on bedrest during both pregnancies, and I think that the fact that I was lying down most of the time made the heartburn worse. I experienced the most discomfort ....
I have had heartburn since I was about 20 years old...I am now 30. It has gotten worse and worse over the years and it's now daily, and affects me for most of the day..
