People with esophagitis, generally reflux esophagitis, suffer due to the stomach acid refluxing back into the esophagus, which irritates or damages the mucous membrane of the esophagus. This causes symptoms such as congestion, edema, and pain, especially after consuming acidic, spicy, or overly hot foods, where the sensation of pain can become more pronounced. Thus, patients with esophagitis may experience symptoms of chest pain. By paying attention to dietary control, avoiding overly acidic, spicy, or hot foods, and taking medications that protect the esophageal mucous membrane and suppress stomach acid secretion, these symptoms of chest pain can gradually be alleviated and even completely cured.
