Hyperacidity
Hyperacidity is also known as “Acid dyspepsia.” Hyperacidity simply means an increase of acidity in the stomach. The human’s stomach contains gastric glands that secrets Hydrochloric Acid which is necessary for the digestion of foods. when the stomach contains an excessive amount of hydrochloric acid, then the condition is called hyperacidity or acid dyspepsia. The acids are released when foods enter the stomach. However, some foods are difficult to digest than others. For such foods, the stomach needs to secrete more acids. Continuous secretions of such acids could lead to hyperacidity in the stomach.
