Functional Heartburn: Definition and Management Strategies. Summary of Functional Heartburn: Definition and Management Strategies.. Functional heartburn (FH) is a functional gastro-intestinal disorder characterized by symptoms of heartburn not related to gastro-esophageal reflux.
Heartburn is a painful burning sensation, experienced in the chest area due to the reflux of acid and other stomach contents in the oesophagus. This reflux, triggered usually by poor diet and lifestyle is caused by the relaxation or reduction in pressure of lower oesophageal sphincter. Heartburn is a common physiological condition, experienced occasionally by most adults but its ignorance can lead to a severe form known as gastro oesophageal reflux disease.
