I'm looking for help understanding what high stomach acid feels like. I've heard that it can cause a burning sensation in the stomach, but I'm not sure if that is correct or not. I'm also wondering what other symptoms might be associated with high stomach acid levels. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this that they can share? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
