Symptoms and causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The phenomenon of heartburn occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus.

Frequent accompanying symptoms are belching, stomach pressure and a feeling of fullness. These symptoms can occur after eating, when lying down or during physical exertion.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_heartburn_develop\"><\/span>How does heartburn develop?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n<p>Heartburn occurs when the sphincter muscle between the stomach and oesophagus does not function properly and stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus.
