The Link Between Heartburn and Esophageal Cancer: Important Symptoms to Watch For‼️

let's see what are the symptoms that you cannot ignore from a gastroenterologist standpoint welcome to the red flag series I recently saw a patient with chronic heartburn developing isal cancer heartburn happens when the lower ragal spinter muscle connecting the food pipe and the stomach is not working properly so when you eat or drink when acid is secreted in the stomach this Pinter is wide open instead of being closed so the acid is reflexed back into the esophagus causing damage to the lower end of the esophagus when this keeps happening over a span of 5 to 10 years there is an increased risk of precancerous lesion developed which in turn can develop into potential esophagal cancer acid should be in the stomach esophagus acid is not like Isa yoga that you can go back and forth if you have chronic heartburn you should absolutely go and see the doctor in case if you develop the symptom called dysphasia or difficulty in swallowing or having a sense of food getting stuck in the chest also remember that not all patients with these symptoms have cancer I asked my patient arami to avoid fried food for his heartburn he is saying that is a tough pill to swallow I said hey if not it'll be a tough Bill to swallow
