A member asked:
I went to the hospital for left chest burning sensation they gave me medicine for acid reflux how long does it take to go away? also they checked my heart everything is good. i have trouble using the restroom? what causes this?

The stomach entrance is just behind & to the left of the heart. Backwash of stomach acid triggers various intensity of pain-based n how irritated that area is. It could improve in days or weeks. Avoiding caffeine or nicotine that prevents the stomach entrance from closing helps. Not laying down after meals & avoiding spicy foods helps.
