* Esophagitus causes an intense, burning pain in the upper chest and in the throat. It is caused from acids that form in the stomach, and rise up into the esophagus. There are treatments for this that are very safe and effective, but if left untreated it can lead to complications such as cancer of the esophagus and throat. * It is usually worse at night, while lying down. Sleeping with your head and chest elevated can help alleviate this problem and discomfort. * Many over-the-counter medications can help prevent this, as well has relieving the discomfort after it starts. * Gastric Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is quite common, and if the over-the-counter medications don't help, your doctor can prescribe something that will. * You can also help prevent this by avoiding spicy, greasy and acidic (tomatoes) foods. Also, don't eat anything for several hours before going to bed, which may greatly reduce the discomfort.
