I have extreme gastroesophogeal reflux, and I use cannabis to relieve the pain. Heartburn refers to the sensation, acid reflux disease is the condition.
The terms are synonymous, basically. Acid reflux (gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or GERD) causes a feeling of burning and pain in the esophagus very close to where the heart is. Sometimes when people are having bad GERD they can think they're having heart attacks or heart pain and vice versa, too. Acid reflux is the disease name and heartburn is more a description of the symptoms it causes, but they basically refer to the same thing.Quote:
