I have acid reflux and chest burning due to acidity.

Asked by Female, 36 · 3 months ago

Acid reflux and chest burning happen when stomach acid comes up into the food pipe. This usually occurs due to spicy or oily foods, eating large meals, lying down soon after eating, too much tea/coffee, stress, or gastric issues. Sugar can also worsen acidity in some people. These factors irritate the food pipe and cause chest burn, throat irritation, and sour taste. Eating light meals, avoiding trigger foods, reducing caffeine, and taking an antacid usually helps. If symptoms keep coming back, it is best to get checked.

It sounds uncomfortable to have acid reflux and chest burning due to acidity. A common and effective treatment for these symptoms is a proton pump inhibitor like Pantosec (Pantoprazole), which reduces stomach acid production and helps relieve the burning sensation.

  • Pantosec 40 mg tablets work by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion in your stomach, easing symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn.
  • Common side effects may include headache, nausea, or abdominal discomfort, but these usually improve over time.
  • It’s important to take this medication under a doctor’s supervision, especially if symptoms persist or worsen.
  • Lifestyle changes such as avoiding spicy or fatty foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating can also help reduce acid reflux.
  • If you experience severe chest pain, difficulty swallowing, or persistent vomiting, seek immediate medical attention.

Please consult a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan. If you want, I can explain how lifestyle changes complement medication in managing acid reflux.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
