What is Acid Reflux?
Acid Reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. It can result from lifestyle factors, diet, or underlying medical conditions. While often manageable with medication and lifestyle changes, it can mimic more serious issues during acute episodes. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders quickly recognise your condition and provide appropriate treatment.
