Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to complications like acidity. Due to this, acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (esophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.
Bloating: It is a feeling of discomfort or tightness in the abdomen, often accompanied by swelling or a sensation of fullness. It can be caused by swallowing air, gas buildup, food intolerance, constipation, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions, leading to discomfort, pain, and embarrassment.
