When I fast I get a lot of heartburn? Why does this happens and how can I treat it?
Jul 14, 2013

Dr. Ghassan Nawfal Surgery
Acid reflux is very common during fasting. Symptoms such as heartburn can be avoided by taking a (20 mg) pill that decreases the production of acid in your stomach (belonging to the category of Proton Pump Inhibitors or PPI's) just before you sleep. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor to adjust the dose or perform some tests on you.
