What causes acidity?
Acidity arises from an overproduction of stomach acid, causing gastric juices to flow from the stomach into the lower esophagus. This not only brings about stomach discomfort but also triggers symptoms such as a sour taste in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, indigestion, and chest or stomach pain. While occasional acidity might not signal serious health concerns, recurring episodes—occurring at least two or more days per week—could suggest an underlying disorder.
