Heartburn is a potentially serious condition that affects more than 60 million Americans at least once a month and can severely limit the daily activities and productivity of sufferers. To help consumers understand the causes and management of this common ailment, the National Heartburn Alliance has developed a free consumer booklet about heartburn called Get Heartburn Smart; Self-Care Strategies for Heartburn Sufferers.
The 16-page, consumer friendly booklet provides information about heartburn and its causes, strategies for treatment and prevention, tips for distinguishing heartburn from other conditions as well as guidelines for when to see a professional. A chart to track symptoms is included and can serve as a reference during a consultation with a pharmacist or health care provider. In addition, the booklet dispels common heartburn myths, answers the most commonly asked questions about heartburn and provides a comprehensive overview of available medications.
