Burning Oesophagus on eating Sambar
For a few years, I don't know how long, often when I eat rice with sambar, my oesophagus starts burning, to the point I can't eat any more and it gets somewhat hard to breathe.
No one else in my family has this problem, and due to this being our standard dinner, I'm still forced to eat it daily and get this problem maybe 3 times a week.
Should I be concerned? Should I talk to them on making changes?

Hi as your symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and GERD.Follow some lifestyle changes. Take your food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as you want thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish your night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep your stomach 1/4 th empty. You can divide your meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which you observed that after taking you feel bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc.
