Are symptoms such as "heartburn" and "stomach ailment" caused by excessive gastric acid or insufficient gastric acid?

Stomach pain and heartburn may be caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. Clinically, functional indigestion, reflux esophagitis, gastroduodenal ulcer, and chronic gastritis should be considered.

Stomach pain and heartburn require attention to dietary adjustments in treatment.

Eat foods that are easy to digest, avoid foods that are not easy to digest, avoid raw, cold, exciting, and spicy foods, and eat more fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits.

If the condition still does not improve after the above treatments, drug treatment can be given, including drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion and gastric mucosal protective agents, such as omeprazole, aluminum magnesium carbonate, and smoking cessation and alcohol restriction.

When heartburn occurs, it is mainly a burning sensation in the epigastric area near the heart. If the patient has reflux esophagitis, it will cause heartburn symptoms.

Some patients will also experience pain. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to take drug treatment, such as pantoprazole, which can inhibit gastric acid secretion. Secondly, drugs to protect the gastric mucosa can also be taken orally under the guidance of a doctor, and try to supplement liquid food in the diet.
