What is acid reflux?

Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows into the oesophagus, causing discomfort or a burning sensation. It can affect people occasionally or regularly. Frequent symptoms should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

Lifestyle adjustments, such as smaller meals, avoiding trigger foods, and remaining upright after eating, can help. Over-the-counter remedies may provide relief, but consult a healthcare professional before starting any treatment.

While it may not always be preventable, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding known triggers, eating smaller meals, and staying upright after eating can reduce symptoms. A healthcare professional can help develop a personalised management plan.
