Stomach acid has a pH between 1.5 and 3.5. It can be strong enough to "burn a hole in a rug". The tissues of the esophagus are not suited to that much acid and will be damaged. We often call this "heart burn"
See link below:
Heartburn.
discomfort due to the regurgitation of stomach acid upward along the esophagus is known as?
That is a good question. You have mucus coat on the inner side of the stomach. This protects the stomach from the attack of the acid and pepsin. There is no such protection available to the esophagus.
It's called Acid Reflux.Pyrosis is the medical term
stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus
No. the oesophagus controls acid reflux from the stomach and allows food to pass through. it had nothing to do with your wind pipe. =]

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is the upward flow of acid from the stomach into the esophagus.
Severe acid reflux can lead to esophagitis. The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Muscles in the lower esophagus normally prevent stomach acid from coming back up into the esophagus, but when a person suffers from mild, moderate or severe acid reflux, the muscles do not stop the acid from entering the esophagus and this stomach acid can cause pain and inflammation of the esophagus, which is caused esophagitis. Managing acid reflux disease is all about preventing acid from leaking back up into the esophagus.
Yes, that is normal acid reflux. There is also Silent Acid Reflux where instead of being in your esophagus causing heartburn, it goes straight up into your throat. This can cause vocal cord damage since the stomach acid is splashing up onto your vocal cords.
Because the stomach has a lining which protects it. Eventually if the acid continues to be produced then it too will have a negative effect such as an ulcer. The esophagus is a thin tube which does not have a lining.
The stomach's lining is protected from the corrosive gastric acid by a layer of mucous. If the mucous lining thins or is otherwise damaged, acid can damage the lining of the stomach, causing an ulcer. While the stomach's lining is able to resist gastric acid thanks to its layer of mucous, the esophagus and mouth aren't as well-protected. So, if there is a problem with the sphincter that keeps the stomach shut, and the stomach acid enters the esophagus, it can cause damage and pain that is felt as heartburn. Excessive vomiting can also damage the esophagus; gastric acid can even damage teeth due to vomiting.
in your intenstines from acid Heartburn takes place in the esophagus. It occurs when stomach acid travels into the esophagus. The mucus lining in the stomach protects it from the acid, but the esophagus has no such protection. Because of this, you feel a burning sensation from acid going up it.

Acid in stomach burps is the cause of pressure on the esophagus causing a subnormal disease call acid refluz. Acid in stomach burps is the cause of pressure on the esophagus causing a subnormal disease call acid refluz.
The throat is the esophagus. It is not protected from contact with the stomach acid so it is eroded.
It is my understanding that by engorging the stomach with food, it puts pressure under the lungs causing difficulty in taking a full deep breath. It can also cause the opening of the stomach to become open causing the acid from the stomach to regurgitate up into the esophagus. This acid can be regurgitated up into the esophagus causing heartburn. That acid can sometimes get into the lungs. Prolonged acid reflux can lead to esophageal cancer as the lining of the esophagus isn't able to handle the acid that the stomach produces. The stomach lining and esophagus lining are quiet different.
