ANS: D
Heartburn, or pyrosis, occurs due to changes in the function of the cardiac sphincter, which allows reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. Self-care measures for this condition include eating small meals and remaining upright for at least an hour after meals. Antacid use should be limited. Pregnant women should not drink alcohol at all.
