The proper medical term for heartburn is gastroesophagea reflux. This happens when the acid from the stomach rushes upward to the oesophagus, resulting in heartburn. There are many reasons for heartburn and being overweight is one of the reasons. Some kinds of medicine, food or beverages can cause the muscles of the stomach to become loose, thus leading to gastroesophagea reflux. Besides, eating or drinking too much or lying down immediately after meals may also cause gastroesophagea reflux.
