Seems like gastritis symptom.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
The burning feeling you are describing, seems more like a stomach issue. The fact that it comes immediately after chewing something, and also knowing that tobacco causes higher acidity in the stomach, I think this is most possible.
Of course, despite quitting it, my other advises is to be careful with your diet and avoid greasy and spicy foods.
I see you take zantac, which is helpful, but not stronger enough to heal a possible gastritis. So I would advise to take Omeprazole 20mg or Panotprazole 40 mg, ect, once/day in the morning for 2 weeks.
If worse or not better, I would recommend seeing a local doctor. You may need to have a fibrogastroscopy to rule out a possible gastric ulcer.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
