Acid Reflux Pain: The Cause of Your Discomfort

The acid in your stomach is what causes acid reflux pain. Stomach acid is there to digest food. While your stomach’s healthy lining can tolerate stomach acid, your esophagus cannot. Therefore, when acid travels from your stomach to your esophagus, it causes a painful burning sensation, usually in the center of the chest (also known as heartburn).

Acid reflux pain, however, is not limited to your chest. Acid reflux pain can occur anywhere from your abdomen to your throat. Each patient experiences acid reflux pain a little differently, but if you have acid reflux, you may notice acid reflux pain in the following areas:

  • Chronic sore throat
  • Regurgitation of acid in the throat
  • Painful swallowing
  • Nighttime chest pain
  • Upper abdomen pain
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Chronic coughing

Occasional heartburn is normal, but if symptoms occur two or more days per week, it’s a sign that you have acid reflux pain and therefore, acid reflux disease. Over time, if the acid continues to travel up into the esophagus, the esophagus will become irritated, worn, or eroded, causing more acid reflux pain and possibly other complications. While you may believe that chest pain is actually acid reflux pain, persistent chest pain should not be ignored as it may indicate a life-threatening problem.
