Yes... I got it for the first time when I was about 22- didn't know what it was at the time, all I knew was that it hurt!!
If I eat too many tomato-based products (spaghetti sauce is number 1 culprit) I'll get it. I was actually diagnosed with acid reflux a couple years ago because I was getting it really bad almost every other day, I think it was mainly stress related though, but as of right now I rarely get it
if I do, I drink a cup of hot tea and it goes away immediately
antacids do not work for me

Only when I have certain things like orange juice and then nothing else for a few hours. Or if I have something very sugary without anything else to eat for awhile. Otherwise, no. I've learned to avoid it.

What a weird question

Sometimes mine can be so painful it brings tears to my eyes
and takes my breath away. I'm sure not everyone has it that bad though... I hope?? Count youself lucky you've never had it

Not too bad now I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer when I was 28!!!
So I always have Tagmet on hand or drink a small glass of water with a tsp of baking soda if I'm desperate (it does work!!)

Rigel,

A burning sensation, usually centered in the middle of the chest near the sternum, caused by the reflux of acidic stomach fluids that enter the lower end of the esophagus. Also called acid reflux, cardialgia, pyrosis.

Pretty much a burning (sore) feeling in your chest Rigel!
