After heartburn occurs, the backflow of stomach juices can cause the esophagus to become sensitive to otherfoods, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, spicy foods, garlic, and onions. Eating these foods may cause more heartburn.(3) Pressure on the stomach caused by frequent bending over and lifting, tight clothes, straining with bowelmovements, vigorous exercise, and pregnancy.(4) Smoking and use of other tobacco products.(5) Prescription and non-prescription medicines, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, prednisone, iron, potassium,antihistamines, and sleeping pills.The treatment of heartburn depends on how severe your heartburn is and what other symptoms you have.
