    There are a number of terms that describe heart burn.  Acid reflux.  Reflux gastritis.  Gastric reflux.  Chronic heartburn may be indicative of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).  Pyrosis may be used, but I will tell you that as a medical secretary, I have never typed or come across the word pyrosis.

      That would be pyrosis. Not the nicest thing to have going on in your body. Hope this helps you out.
