Esophagitis also called hearth burn is the inflammation of the esophagus. It manifests as chest pain or discomfort. sometimes the manifestation is back pain or shoulder pain or lump in the throat. If it manifests as chest pain it has to be differentiated from heart problems which are more serious and need specific treatment. Esophagitis can be prevented by staying upright after a meal, avoiding too much food, coffee very hot drinks/soup. If you have the symptoms consult your physician to make sure the pain is not from the heart.
