Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
When acid from the stomach leaks up into the gullet (oesophagus), the condition is known as
acid reflux. This may cause
heartburn and other symptoms. A medicine which reduces the amount of acid made in your stomach is a common treatment and usually works well. Some people take short courses of medication when symptoms flare up. Some people need long-term daily medication to keep symptoms away.
Hope this helps
