Heartburn is usually a symptom of stress, certain foods or beverages, over-eating, and food that has a high fat content. It has nothing to do with your heart except it creates a burning sensation in your chest. If the bundle of muscles at the bottom end of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter or LES) is weak, it may not be able to stop stomach acid from rising into your esophagus. This causes the burning sensation and can be damaging if nothing is done to prevent this.

Gaviscon Advance Peppermint Liquid can minimize your symptoms of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), sour stomach, gastritis, and acid indigestion. When Gaviscon reaches your stomach it reacts with your gastric acid and forms a gel raft that floats on top of the stomach contents like a protective barrier so your gastric acid in not able to escape up into your esophagus.
