Acidity, also known as a gastric problem, occurs when the stomach produces excess acid that leads to irritation in the stomach lining. This condition often causes a burning sensation in the chest, commonly called heartburn, along with discomfort in the stomach area. Acidity can be triggered by several factors such as irregular eating habits, consumption of spicy or oily foods, overeating, stress, lack of sleep, or long gaps between meals.

If acidity occurs frequently, it can affect digestion and overall health. People may experience symptoms like bloating, sour taste in the mouth, nausea, and stomach discomfort. Maintaining a balanced diet, eating meals on time, avoiding excessive spicy food, and managing stress can help control the condition. Proper medication and lifestyle changes can provide relief from acidity and support a healthy digestive system.
