Chest irritation is a common problem related to the digestive system. It can also be dangerous to ignore.
In medical terms, heart burn is called ‘peptic acid disease’. If you have occasional heartburn, you are not alone. There are millions of people in the world who complain of heart burn every day. Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is also commonly referred to as heart burn. It is a common problem related to the digestive system.
In this disease, the acidic contents of the stomach (acidic elements) start flowing back into the food pipe (esophagus or food pipe). The inner layer of the food pipe is not made to tolerate acid. Therefore, the presence of acid in the food pipe causes wound (ulcer) in its inner layer.
This condition is called heart burn. Constant chest irritation and ignoring it can lead to many problems.
It causes chest pain and severe burning sensation. Heart burn causes pain, tightness, and discomfort in the middle of the chest. This is when the inner lining of the esophagus is destroyed. Often, acid starts forming due to empty stomach and overeating. Due to this, there is also a burning sensation in the chest.
Not being physically active, eating food, sleeping immediately after eating, spicy food, soft drinks, preservatives, junk food, consumption of acidic things and smoking also increase acidity. Do not consume them if there is burning sensation in the chest. Make a change in lifestyle. Eat papaya, curd, orange, aloe vera juice, banana, apple, fish etc.
