Heartburn is a mild condition that can make your chest feel like it is on fire. Also called acid reflux, it occurs when stomach acid moves up into the throat. Even a single episode after rich or spicy food can feel unbearable. Chronic heartburn may even harm the esophagus. Baking soda can quickly ease reflux by neutralizing stomach acid. Mix a teaspoon with cold water and sip slowly. Drinking too fast can cause foaming in your stomach and leave you feeling bloated.
