Suggest Treatment For Heart Burn And Chest Pain After Drinking Alcohol
Hello. I m travelling in Brazil and just yesterday and today, whenever I drink something (powerade, beer, to a lesser extent water) I get pretty bad chest pains around my mid chest above my stomach towards the heart area. I don t usually get heartburn, but it has been like this a couple days. Any ideas?
It appears you are having gastro-esophageal reflux which is responsible for your heartburn. Avoid all alcoholic drinks for now as alcohol increases reflux. Also avoid spicy and oily foods. Taking antacids will help reduce your discomfort. Acid production lowering medicines will also help.
Best wishes.
