The esophagus is often irritated due to so-called reflux. It is actually a return of digested food from the stomach to the esophagus. Then you feel a burning sensation from the esophagus. This is due to the fact that the digested food has already been mixed with acidic stomach
juices and instead of moving further into the intestines, it returns and unfortunately irritates the esophageal mucosa. Hence the folk name of the disease - heartburn. But doctors talk about heartburn. The painful burning sensation is felt in the area behind the sternum. It moves from the stomach area to the neck. Many people also feel uncomfortable hot and sore in their mouths. This is a relatively common condition, which is caused by the insufficiency of the lower esophageal sphincter. Heartburn occurs daily in a tenth of the population. However, this problem is not dangerous and, although it is usually not treated, it can be prevented with suitable anticides, which we recommend to take in case of illness immediately after a meal.
