What Is The Cause For Tightness And Burning Sensation In The Stomach?
Hi, for the past few weeks, I have been having some trouble with my stomach. I have been feeling a tightness in my stomach as well as a burning sensation when I eat certain foods ( like spicy foods, acidic foods, and foods high in fat). I want to know what is wrong with my stomach and how I can get rid of this.

hello
i can understand your concern
(1) well your symptoms clearly indicates that you are suffering from a condition known as APD i.e ACID PEPTIC DISEASE
(2) what actually happens in this condition is that there is excess secretion of gastric juices which are acidic in nature ( commonly known as acidity in lay man terms )
(3) this excess of acidic secretion leads to erosion of the normal protective layers of stomach i.e the mucous membrane
(4) so what happens is that whenever u eat something , there is secretion of gastric juices in stomach to start the process of digestion but as the normal protective mucous membrane is eroded so this excess acidic secretion irritates the inner surface of stomach which in turn causes a feeling of burning sensation
(5) you dont need to worry as its a treatable condition which some combination of prescription medications commonly known as ANTACIDS
(6) you plz visit some good physician near you who will prescribe these medicines
all the best n get well soon
regards
