Question 1

what does it mean when you have a burning sensation in your stomach?

Accepted Answer

Heartburn vs ulcer: Think of burning stomach pain along a scale w/ulcers at one end and heartburn or simple gastritis at the other. These symptoms can be caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) or loosening of lower esophageal sphincter, allowing stomach acid into esophagus. Medications can lower acid level. Losing weight can decrease abdominal pressure. Remaining upright or elevated head of bed can help.

Question 2

hi, i have a burning sensation in my stomach that comes and goes, i have been on pepcid medication for a week, and it has improved a bit especially at nighttime, but i still feel it more during the day, what could it be? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Reflux?: You likely suffer from acid reflux although a stomach ulcer needs be ruled out as well. You may try a more powerful anti-acid drug in the proton pump inhibitor class but if the problem worsens or lasts for longer than 2 weeks, you will need to consult your doctor.

Question 3

if you have a warm burning sensation, where your esophagus meets your stomach, what does that mean? can that weaken your les? also felt something pull

Accepted Answer

GERD and HH:  Many people with acid reflux do not have a hiatus hernia. Also, many people with a hiatus hernia do not have symptoms of acid reflux. If you have a HH it does not necessarily mean that the sphincter between the oesophagus and stomach does not work so well. It is just that having a HH makes you more prone to having a poorly functioning sphincter and more prone to developing GERD.
