Chronic Acid Reflux
If you’ve swallowed a bunch of antacid tablets and the acid reflux won’t go away, your body might be trying to tell you that you have esophageal cancer. The esophageal lining is vulnerable to stomach acid and can cause a precancerous condition known as Barrett’s esophagus. But don’t go ahead and self-diagnose, or waste an entire day googling your symptoms online and panicking. Go see a doctor and get tested, instead.
