10 Esophagitis Symptoms
Symptom #5: Abdominal Pain
Abdominal pain is a symptom found in both serious and nonserious medical issues. It is a common and nonspecific symptom often seen in gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome, food poisoning, and many more.
Anatomically, the abdomen can be divided into nine regions. One of them is the epigastric region. It is the upper central region of the abdomen, located immediately over the stomach. The pain that patients experience in esophagitis is usually located in this region, but it can also radiate and become retrosternal (behind the breastbone or sternum). Epigastric pain is a common symptom in reflux esophagitis and infectious esophagitis.
