What Are the Common Triggers of Acidity? 

Acidity is a common digestive concern that can cause discomfort in the stomach, chest, or throat. It may occur when stomach acid moves upward causing acid reflux  causing unpleasant complaints like hearburn and nausea or when the digestive system is affected by certain foods, eating patterns, or lifestyle habits.

Occasional heartburn or acid reflux is common and usually temporary. But when it becomes frequent or chronic, it may be GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), which can cause ongoing irritation and damage to the GI tract over time. 

Understanding what triggers acidity can help you make simple changes to your daily routine and manage occasional digestive discomfort.
