Severe burning in chest
I have been experiencing a severe burning sensation like acidity from a long time and with almost everything i eat be it a solid food or a liquid except normal water. I also face difficulty in swallowing food in the first instance. I have to drink water in order to make the food go through the food pipe.
I smoke approx 5 cigg a day and consume 200 ml of alcohol 4-5 days in a week.
