My chest and epigastric region feel burning hot and sore.

It is the characteristic burning sensation caused by refluxed stomach acid irritating the esophageal mucosa.

강한 산성의 위산이 식도 점막에 닿으면 "가슴이 타는 듯하다", "명치가 쓰리다", "고춧가루를 뿌린 것 같다"는 흉부 작열감(Heartburn)이 나타납니다.

  • 통증 양상: 명치 끝에서 목구멍 쪽으로 치밀어 오르는 타는 통증
  • 발생 시기: 주로 식후 30분~2시간, 눕거나 앞으로 구부릴 때
  • 특징: 물이나 제산제를 먹으면 잠시 호전됨
⚠️ 주의

식은땀을 동반한 극심한 흉통은 심장 질환일 수 있으니 감별이 필요합니다.
