What can I do to prevent Acid Reflux? 

Many episodes of Acid reflux or Heartburn settle down on their own with a few lifestyle changes and a few over the counter antacids. In general if you are prone to acid reflux, then you should avoid greasy and spicy food, eat frequent and small meals and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes. Also, please avoid going to bed on a very full stomach. If you are pregnant and suffer from Heartburn, then the condition usually settles down after childbirth. But there are many cases where Acid Reflux and Heartburn become chronic. If you have frequent attacks of heartburn it is very important that you consult a doctor and start treatment immediately. If neglected, this condition can cause severe and permanent damage to the food pipe, lungs, throat, and even your teeth. In some cases it can even lead to cancer of the esophagus. 

With all the advancements in modern science, it is possible to control the discomfort and pain associated with Acid Reflux.
