Why does acid reflux or heartburn happen?
Mayo Clinic According to the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is caused by repeated acid reflux or reflux of stomach non-acidic contents. When we eat and swallow it, there is a band of muscles around the back of the esophagus, which is called the sphincter. In a way, the sphincter acts as a valve between our mouth and intestine. When we swallow food, it opens and closes automatically as soon as the food enters the stomach. But if the sphincter is not relaxed properly or it becomes weak then the stomach acid starts rising and it seems that the whole thing is pressing the chest. The continuous upward rise of acid is a cause of trouble for the alimentary canal and it can also cause inflammation.
