About Acidity in Delhi
Acidity, commonly known as heartburn, is a burning sensation in the chest or upper abdomen caused by stomach acid rising into the esophagus. It often occurs after eating, especially spicy or fatty meals, or when lying down soon after a meal. Occasional acidity is common, but frequent episodes may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
