5. Acid Reflux
You might notice that you have acid reflux symptoms if you are experiencing an ulcer. This will cause the stomach acids to enter the esophageal sphincter that normally closes off the entrance to the food pipe. When this happens, it can cause a burning sensation and great discomfort. In some cases, food might also travel up the wrong way.
Many other things can also cause acid reflux, including stomach infections and simply eating too quickly or not efficiently chewing your food.
To treat the reflux in the short term, try drinking plenty of water and taking antacids to help neutralize the acid that has made its way into the food pipe.
