Acid reflux happens when stomach acid flows back up into the food pipe (oesophagus). The most common symptom is heartburn, a burning feeling in the chest that is often worse after eating, when lying down or when bending over.
Most people can manage reflux with lifestyle changes and pharmacy treatments that neutralise acid, form a protective barrier or reduce how much acid the stomach makes. Our team can help you choose the right option and tell you when your symptoms need a doctor’s review.
