I have had indigestion and heartburn for about a week and now have a stinging feeling/pain in my mid/upper back. I can also taste the stomach acid in the back of my throat and mouth. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why its gone to my back or know of how i can clear this excess stomach acid? thanks

GO GET TESTED FOR H PYLORI. IT IS A PARASITE THAT LIVES IN YOUR STOMACH THAT CAUSES THOSE SYMPTOMS. A SIMPLE BLOOD TEST YOUR DOC ORDERS. I TESTED POSITIVE AND TOOK 7 DAYS OF ANTIBIOTICS AND AN ACID BLOCKER. SOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!!
