A member asked:

My partner drank apple cider vinegar it gave him chest pain what other problems can it cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minimal: The acid in the vinegar will cause pain in the esophagus and stomach, but shouldn't do permanent damage. Other problems can arise if you drink it on an ongoing basis.
