HOW TO TREAT HYPERACIDITY

Everything you need to know about hyperacidity relief and acid reflux (heartburn)


What is hyperacidity?
In order to facilitate digestion, the stomach secretes hydrochloric acid, a digestive liquid that reduces food particles to the smallest possible size. Hyperacidity is the medical term for when the stomach produces too much hydrochloric acid.

Symptoms
Common symptoms of hyperacidity and acid reflux include:

  • Heartburn: a burning pain or discomfort that may move from your stomach to your abdomen or chest, or even up into your throat
  • Regurgitation: a sour or bitter-tasting acid backing up into your throat or mouth
  • Throat burn
  • Bloating
  • Burping
  • Wheezing, dry cough, hoarseness, or chronic sore throat

Treatment
One of the best ways to relieve hyperacidity and heartburn is to avoid foods and drinks that cause symptoms. You can also take the following actions:

  • Maintain a proper, healthy diet by avoiding meals that are very salty, greasy, sour, or spicy.
  • It's also necessary to exercise for at least 30 minutes, as this will aid in digestion and bowel movements and prevent the hyperacidity issue. It is advisable to walk.
  • Heavy lifting and exercises where the abdominal muscles are used should be avoided by those with hyperacidity.

Changes in lifestyle as well as antacid and indigestion medicine are often effective for treating acid reflux, heartburn, and hyperacidity.

Antacid medications, such as United Home® Supracid (Sodium Bicarbonate), aid in the treatment of hyperacidity. It has a peppermint taste and is available in 325 mg and 650 mg tablets.
