Acid Reflux vs. Heartburn: What’s the Difference?

Pain and discomfort can be experienced from conditions connected to acid reflux and heartburn. But each of these conditions refers to a different issue. Heartburn is a burning sensation in your chest, neck, or throat that can be brought on by acid reflux, whereas acid reflux itself happens when stomach contents flow back into your esophagus. Vinay Katukuri, MD, a board-certified gastroenterologist at Advanced Gastroenterology provides treatment for acid reflux. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online.
