Hyperacidity (sour stomach) is a common gastrointestinal disease. The environment inside the stomach is highly acidic, with pH value ranges between 2 and 4. The purpose of acid is to help the digestion and absorption of food. It can kill the bacteria in the food, too. However, if hyperacidity happens, there will be something wrong with the human body.

The symptoms of hyperacidity include the followings:

• Heartburn, chest discomfort.
• Nausea and vomiting
• Acid reflux
• Upper abdominal gas
• Stomach pain after meals
• Stomach pain when the stomach is empty

Some probable reasons for hyperacidity:

• Mentally: Pressure, stress or anxiety.
• Physically: Lack of sleep or sleeplessness
• Dining habit: Having meals on an irregular basis, drinking irritating beverages such as alcohol and coffee or eating hot & spicy food.

For self treatment, it is safe to take Magsil for a short period of time. Magsil can effectively neutralize the acid so as to relieve the discomfort caused by hyperacidity. If the symptoms do not go away in 2 days, one should see a doctor.
