1. Dietary factors such
as eating too spicy food or drinking strong tea, coffee, etc., are easy to stimulate the esophageal mucosa, resulting in burning sensation.
2. Drug factors
Long-term use of verapamil, atropine, nitroglycerin and other drugs, it is easy to reduce the tension of the lower esophageal sphincter, resulting in the above symptoms.

When suffering from reflux esophagitis, cholecystitis, acute gastritis and other diseases, it may lead to damage to the esophageal anti-reflux barrier, causing reflux substances to stimulate the esophagus, which may also cause the above discomfort.
