What Are the Causes of Hyperacidity? - #11242
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with persistent hyperacidity, and I want to understand what triggers it. Can someone explain the causes of hyperacidity from both Ayurvedic and modern perspectives? My symptoms include a burning sensation in my chest after meals, bloating, and sour burps. I’ve read that causes of hyperacidity in Ayurveda are often related to a Pitta imbalance. Does this mean that spicy foods, fried items, or caffeinated drinks are the main culprits? I’ve also noticed that stress and irregular eating habits seem to make my symptoms worse. Are these common causes of hyperacidity, and how can I manage them better? Lastly, I’m curious about how long-term hyperacidity affects overall health. Can it lead to ulcers or other serious digestive problems? What lifestyle or dietary changes should I adopt to address the root causes rather than just treating the symptoms?
