Excessive gastric acidity – characteristics and manifestations
Excessive gastric acidity, commonly known as hyperacidity, is a digestive disorder characterized by an overproduction of stomach juices. The primary component is hydrochloric acid, which, due to its properties, facilitates proper digestion by activating pepsin, an enzyme responsible for protein breakdown. The stomach also produces compounds that neutralize hydrochloric acid, and maintaining a balance between these substances and gastric acid is essential for normal digestive function. When this balance is disrupted, it can lead to an overproduction of hydrochloric acid, typically resulting in heartburn and a burning sensation behind the sternum. Individuals with hyperacidity often report upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, a feeling of fullness, constipation, indigestion, and even vomiting.
