Question: Is there a way to lessen the symptoms?
Answer: Drink juice, maybe pineapple or apple. They help your stomach immediately. Try black grapes at night with a glass of warm water. Constipation can cause it, as well as eating too quickly; sometimes even your metabolism can trigger an attack. Stress can be a cause. A lot of things can start it. Spicy food can do it as well. Milk works for some people, but it can make it worse for others. It depends on you and your system.
Answer: It feels like your chest is burning. It is unique; there isn’t anything like it. It’s the result of stomach acid flowing back up into your esophagus because the lower esophageal sphincter does not close tightly. Certain foods, especially acidic foods, will worsen the symptoms. If you think you have it, try taking Pepsid AC next time; it treats the condition really well.
Answer: If you have a severe case, you will feel a burning sensation in your chest that is often mistaken for a heart attack as it literally takes your breath away. It commonly happens when you lie down or are sleeping.
