Acidity, reflux (GERD), gastritis, and ulcers are all related digestive system conditions that can cause discomfort and pain in the upper abdomen and chest. Acidity refers to a condition where there is excess production of acid in the stomach, which can cause a burning sensation in the chest and throat. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including diet, stress, and certain medications. Reflux, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a chronic condition where stomach acid and contents flow back up into the oesophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Gastritis refers to inflammation of the stomach lining, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including alcohol consumption, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Symptoms of gastritis include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Ulcers are open sores that can form in the stomach lining or small intestine. They can be caused by factors such as infection with H. pylori, prolonged use of NSAIDs, and smoking. Symptoms of ulcers can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bleeding.
