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.
The symptoms of heartburn are a tight, painful feeling through your chest. Heartburn is caused by acid reflux, which happens when stomach acid is released into the esophagus. The stomach acid eats away at the lining of the esophagus and can cause lasting damage. If you experience frequent heartburn, you may have a condition called acid reflux disease, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
