I ve been feeling a burning in my stomach and chest for a week now..what is the cause of that?

2

Sounds like acid reflux.. Try some antacids aee if they help. also look at what food you eat prior to it happening such as spicy foods / fruit/ chocolate . You may be able to find the trigger

You are having epigastric pain. If the pain is traveling like down your arm u need to see your dr because it would be cardiac. You probably are having heartburn and reflux. If it just started u need to look at your diet if you started any new meds. You can chew gum that helps to keep the acid down. I would try Prilosec(omeprazole) OTC or some other PPI like Prevacid or nexium.

If it is a minor issue the try Zantac or Pepcid take them an hour before meals.

Look at your diet try eating small frequent meals like 5 per day do not have huge

meals. Try to stick to a soft diet stay away from soda,choc,spicey food and sweets.

If these do not help then I would go see your dr. If u started any new meds or ur on a weird diet I would talk to your dr about the new meds. Hope this helps

my doctor recommended dica.it been working.but some times the burning comes back

Isn't DICA LSD. U have a weird dr recommending something so stupid and dangerous. Try chewing gum it helps acid reflux. Taking any medication or illegal drugs can cause reflux. U can also drink a little bit of baking soda and warm water. It immediately neutralizes acid.

I'll try that.by the way baking soda in warm water did work for you?

Yes the baking soda worked

for the burning in my esophagus it is

only temporary but it works

fast if u can't stand the burning. Do not do a whole lot of baking soda just enough for a gulp or 2. Do not do it all the time because baking soda has

salt in it. Have u tried gasex for your stomach or mylanta. Also chewing gum really works. It would help the

burning in your chest. Get sugar free gum but u need to see a dr if it is that

bad

Could be hyabacter pylori in your stomach a bacteria that can flare up stomach acid this can be sorted with antibiotics ! 

See your gp and get tested for it .

any specific antibiotics

They usually give Biaxin and Flagyl along with pepti bismol. They can do a blood test or an endoscopy where they do a biopsy and put it in a medium if it turns dark pink red it is positive for hpylori
