    This is because of acid reflux. Because the esophagus originally belongs to an alkaline environment, it is a part that is more afraid of acid. Therefore, some people will swallow alkaline saliva unconsciously if the stomach acid flows backwards to neutralize the refluxing stomach acid. If the stomach acid continues to increase, it is like pouring alcohol on the wound, which will cause pain and heartburn.
