Heartburn, a common symptom of acid reflux and GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), can be more than just a temporary discomfort. At Colon & Digestive Health Specialists (CDH), we understand the impact heartburn can have on your quality of life. Under the guidance of Karim Shakoor, M.D, a board-certified gastroenterologist with extensive experience in managing digestive health issues, our team offers comprehensive care to relieve heartburn and prevent its recurrence.
Heartburn occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions can contribute to the frequency and severity of heartburn episodes.
Personalized Evaluation: We start with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, dietary habits, and lifestyle to identify triggers and underlying causes of your heartburn.
Advanced Diagnostic Tools: For those with frequent or severe heartburn, diagnostic procedures like Upper Endoscopy (EGD) may be recommended to examine the esophagus for signs of damage and assess for GERD.
Customized Treatment Plans: Treatment options may include dietary and lifestyle modifications, medications to reduce stomach acid, and, in some cases, surgical interventions for long-term relief.
Continuous Support and Education: Our team is dedicated to providing ongoing care and guidance, helping you make informed decisions about your health and manage heartburn effectively.
