Acidity is a gastric disorder that occurs due to excessive production of acid by gastric glands. Overproduction of acid can lead to a burning sensation in the stomach along with sour taste in the mouth and an uncomfortable heaviness. It can occur in any person and the symptoms following acidity are dry mouth, mild stomach pain, black stool, nausea, vomiting, burping and bad breath. Prolonged acidity can cause other health problems like peptic ulcers, gastric inflammation and constipation.
