What symptom is reflux esophagitis?

Burning pain is caused by reflux of gastric acid chemical stimulation of esophageal epithelial sensory nerve endings. The typical symptom of burning pain is located under the sternum and diffuses upward. 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 one's back, and it can be alleviated in upright position. This is because walking in upright position promotes the clearance of esophagus. The aggravation of postural burning pain is highly suggestive of reflux.
