Burning Sensation In My Chest, Teeth, Throat While Eating. How To Avoid This?

For the last week, every time I eat almost anything I get a burning sensation in my chest and lower throat , nausea , and discomfort. Haven t vomited yet, but feel like it every time I eat. It does NOT get worse when I lay down during the day or at night, and it only happens when I eat something. I have also been getting a weird sensation on my all of my teeth when this happens.

Hello dear...

The symptoms as mentioned by you suggest that you might be having Gastro esophageal reflux disease, which is caused by the reflux of acid from stomach to esophagus due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.

Management consists of:
1. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.
2. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
3. Medical management- Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole,etc. (which prevent acid formation in stomach)

If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist.
There is no need to worry...you will be fine.
Wish you a good health & speedy recovery.
Thanks & Take care.
