Brief Answer: regurgitation of stomach acid Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Acid Reflux is a chronic symptom of mucosal damage caused by stomach acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus. This acid entering the food pipe (esophagus) causes damage to the mucosal lining and lead to burning chest pain, burps, nausea etc You will need antacids to get rid of the problem. Regards,
