Is esophagitis backache serious?

Poststernal burning or pain is the main symptom of the disease. According to the distribution of vagus nerve, sometimes it can radiate to the neck, palate or ear. It is common to radiate between the shoulder blades on both sides of the back. Burning sensation can be relieved by drinking water or taking acid or sugar block to stimulate saliva secretion and primary esophageal peristalsis.

Especially after eating some spicy food, it is most likely to occur. It can be caused by bending, exerting or lying on the back, and it can be alleviated in the upright position. This is because walking in the upright position (picture arranged by the teacher) promotes the clearance of the esophagus. The aggravation of postural burning pain is highly suggestive of reflux.

In patients with gastric acid deficiency, the burning sensation is mainly caused by bile reflux, but the effect of taking antacids is not obvious. The severity of burning sensation is not necessarily consistent with the severity of the lesion. Severe esophagitis, especially in scar formation, may have no or only slight burning sensation.
