Patient's question:
I currently have excessive stomach acid. Symptoms like nausea and acid reflux can even lead to serious consequences such as stomach ulcers or duodenal ulcers, especially after eating sweets. What should I do if my stomach acid is severe?Doctor's answer:
Acid reflux generally refers to symptoms caused by an excess of digestive fluid in the stomach, which stimulates the stomach lining. It typically manifests as a burning sensation in the stomach and, in severe cases, can lead to acid regurgitation. If you experience these symptoms, it's advisable to use medications that reduce stomach acid and pay attention to your diet, avoiding spicy and fried foods. The harm acid reflux can cause to patients is significant. Once you notice these symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to dietary issues.
