Common Symptoms of Esophagitis
This disorder can cause a variety of symptoms [4] that include:
Pain & Lack of Appetite
Patients often complain about pain in the chest, upper abdomen, behind the breastbone, or throat. The pain can be burning, heavy or sharp. If acid reflux is the cause of esophagitis, the pain may be worse after meals or when you lie flat. Pain from esophagitis may be constant or may come and go.
The symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis are variable, especially in people of different ages. Some patients complain about significant changes in appetite which leads to weight loss, while some do not experience this symptom at all. Lack of appetite can cause malnutrition, so it is important to take treatment very seriously. Maintaining a high-nutrition colorful diet filled with small portions of foods at a time can help prevent health complications.
