Hi, Nausea and sharp pains in chest may be gastritis but you should also have it checked out to rule out heart conditions. Since I don't know your age or sex, I cannot say based on demographics the most likely cause of the symptoms. ACV can worsen reflux or heartburn and gastritis if they are not healed prior to starting. Try some licorice root and see if that helps the pain and burning. If it continues, get your doctor to check it out. Once healed the ACV will keep the symptoms from coming back

Dr. Wang, thank u for your reply.

I am 25 & male. I don't have any short of breath, fatigue, sweating. So I guess not a heart cond?

I am still using ACV til now. Seems that whenever I'm having the symptoms (heartburn, nausea, etc), it gets better by drink ACV. Not that I'm questioning u,but I'm confused whether this will heal me (coz it relieves whenever I use to the symptoms) or it would worsen my condition in the long term (just like u said).

Also, does cayenne pepper work?

Again, Thank u!

@frdhyo At this point, I don't really think that it will worsen your condition because your symptoms seem to improve with the ACV. I would continue on it and in about a month or so it will no longer be necessary. It is uncertain for some when, exactly they can do acv, for you, it seems that now is fine. Might consider Raw Manuka honey also, it works well for GERD. I've not tried cayenne pepper so I'm not the one to ask about that for GERD, sorry. Good luck!

Wow this women is awesome. I am afraid to do the apple cider vinegar because I have esophageal inflammation. Do I wait for it to heal and then do the ACV or do I do it know. I don't want to further damage my esophogus. Would really appreciate the advice. .

Tom, I would wait to do the apple cider vinegar until your esophagus heals a bit. Usually takes a week or so, then do the ACV.

Thank you, its always nice to get free good advice. Ive been suffering from gerd now for a year with alot of esophagitis. I am using dgl licorice and ginger root capsules which still unsure of benefits due to the severity of my symptoms. I have also been braving the braggs ACV, yuck, although i did not know it is best used after esophagitis healing? Ive also tried many PPI's, ommeprazole, prevacid and now on dexilant. My body feels so out of whack and would love to ditch the ppi's asap. Also to
