See your doctor!  There is medication that can help.  Otherwise the acid can eat your esophagus.

Apparently, yes it can.  "In adults and children, irritating acidic juices may back up from the stomach into the esophagus and throat.  It is frequently called gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERN.  This may occur at any time either day or night. A common anatomic condition known as a hiatal hernia \n\nMost people do not know that acid reflux can also cause problems in the larynx (voice box) or the pharynx (back of throat).  This can happen to someone even if he or she is not aware of any heartburn, and is sometimes called silent reflux, atypical reflux, or laryngopharyngeal reflux.\n\nSymptoms of acid reflux include: hoarseness, excessive mucous or phlegm, throat clearing, a sensation of a lump in the throat, sore throat, choking spells, wheezing, or post-nasal drip.  More serious problems can arise as well such as vocal fold ulcers or granulomas, vocal fold scarring, airway narrowing, or pneumonia.  There is also a small chance of developing cancer in the esophagus or throat due to long-term acid reflux."\n\nYou should see your family doctor who can order a test called pH monitoring which can measure the amount of acid in your throat.\n\nReally good site with lots more info on this subject below.  Hope that helps!

I have acid reflux, plus hernia and gerd I take one tablespoon of apple cider vinager 3 times a day.... gone!\nYou can use regular also. If you have fried foods that use catsup use vinager instead. Don't eat after 6pm. Sleep upright inclined if you have to. Use products like Zantac found at your drug stoes. Go see a doctor!\nYou will have to be careful what you eat,stay away from caffeine altogether.

well it doesnt seem right but the only way that could be trus is your not drinking enough water and the  stomach acids are just to acidic, but if you have heartburn alot there is an underlying problem..\n\nTINA\nregistered practical nurse

Go see your Doctor.  Sounds like your esophagus is really irritated.  Probably a severe case of GERD.

See a doctor when you get a chance and see if there is anything that can be done. I suffered persistant stomach aches but no vomiting and my doctor gave me something called Aciphex for acid reflux...I didn't know that you could take medicines like that to help if you weren't vomiting or having heartburn, but you apparently can if you have what causes my stomach aches: Excessive stomach acid.\n\nIf the other suggestions here do not work, try taking an OTC acid blocker like the ones listed here: http://gi.org/patients/women/whatisgerd.asp You can buy generics cheap.\n\nI hope you find a cure for this and feel better soon!

you should get a medical opinion for a question such as this.  I get the same thing but mine is acid reflux disease.  My husband on the other hand had  the same pain and turns out that the fluid between his ribs and chest wall was not there any more.  He thought he was having a heart attack.  so you see if could be a number of things.  I would get to a Dr. real soon.

Do you slouch or do you sit up straight? This could be nothing more than muscle spasms or pain from trapped wind. If you were suffering heart trouble you would be feeling the pain in the centre of your chest, in your neck or your arms. I don't think it could be your liver or you would be feeling 'out of sorts' too. Call NHS direct and have a word with them to see what they think. They will not offer a diagnosis but will advise you to visit your Doctor if they think it neccessary.

Gastro-esophageal reflux, more commonly known as heart burn, which happens when contents of the stomach rise up in the throat causing a burning sensation and difficulty swallowing.\n\nGastric or duodenal ulcers which affect the surface of the digestive tract causing pain and bleeding.\n\nMotility problems which occur when the stomach has difficulty emptying itself which causes nausea and vomiting and can lead to reflux.\n\nThese problems resemble each other and cause similar symptoms: pain, nausea, regurgitation, gas, loss of appetite and weight. They can, however, be distinguished from one another by the time of their onset, their exact location, their frequency, etc. So it's important to be as precise as possible when describing symptoms to your doctor.

after every meal, consume a teaspoon of APPLE CIDER VINEGAR...  i know this sounds strange... but try it... it really works... heartburn is truly caused because our stomachs don't have ENOUGH acidity in them, thus our stomach freaks out constantly trying to produce more and more acid... AVOID things like milk, as this will make your stomach produce even MORE acid... the apple cider vinegar will help by restoring your stomachs acidy to a normal level, therefore it won't be creeping back up your esophagus giving you heartburn!!!! please try this, because it really does work!!!!

Heartburn is also called acid reflux. It is caused by acid from the stomach running back up the esophagus. It isn't a symptom of a heart attack.
