I have recently, within the passed few months, been experiencing heartburn. I thought this was just something that happens to everyone, but then it started going further up my esophagus causing a sore throat. I thought it had to do with my allergies, but it's mostly in my chest and making my throat raw. It's hard to swallow even water. I also thought that the stomach burn, right under my diaphragm was part of the heartburn, but have come to find out that it is most likely a minor stomach ulcer. I was just wondering if stomach ulcers and acid reflux were somehow related? That way I can make some sort of change and, more or less, hit two birds with one stone. I'm new to this, so any information is helpful. Thanks!
