Heartburn<br />
Heartburn is a condition which causes pain or burning sensation in the throat and chest. It occurs when<br />
acid in the s<strong>to</strong>mach regurgitates in<strong>to</strong> the esophagus (a tube connecting mouth <strong>to</strong> the s<strong>to</strong>mach).<br />
Generally, this condition is easily treated with over the counter medication, but if you’re experiencing<br />
this problem quite often, then it could be a sign of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).<br />
GERD usually develops when acid from the s<strong>to</strong>mach starts irritating the lining of the esophagus. This<br />
problem is common among people who smoke or are overweight. Also, pregnant women are more likely<br />
<strong>to</strong> develop this condition. An untreated GERD can lead <strong>to</strong> some serious problems.<br />
Galls<strong>to</strong>nes<br />
Galls<strong>to</strong>nes are small pellets formed inside the gallbladder. These s<strong>to</strong>ne can be as tiny as a grain of sand,<br />
or they can be as large as a golf ball. People suffering from galls<strong>to</strong>nes either have a big s<strong>to</strong>ne, or they<br />
have multiple s<strong>to</strong>nes of different sizes. In this problem, it is very common <strong>to</strong> experience sudden bouts of<br />
intense pain on the right side of the abdomen. Pregnant women and obese people are more vulnerable<br />
<strong>to</strong> the formation of galls<strong>to</strong>nes.
