Let's start with heartburn. Heartburn is an unpleasant feeling of burning in your chest you may know all too well. Many people experience heartburn every now and then. But when you experience heartburn more than occasionally, it may mean there's something else happening that you should know about.
Heartburn won't stay away? You could have erosive acid reflux disease.
Frequent and persistent heartburn two or more times a week can be a symptom of erosive acid reflux disease. In this condition, erosions or shallow sores develop in your esophagus as a result of acid reflux. And that's something you shouldn't ignore.
The first step? Talk with your doctor. He or she can tell you if you have erosive acid reflux disease and whether prescription PROTONIX may be right for you.
