Do you sweat profusely every time you eat hot food? Many people experience acid reflux from time to time, but experts say it can be a warning sign of a chronic health disease.
Some people are more likely to feel a burning sensation in the chest, especially after eating spicy foods, fatty meals, alcohol, caffeine, and citrus fruits. During the initial time, doctors may prescribe cutting down the intake of such food items or maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, quitting smoking, and stopping using medicines like ibuprofen, reported The Sun UK.
According to the report, a 74-year-old woman revealed that she suffered awful repercussions whenever she ate or drank anything hot. She sweats profusely on her forehead, and under her breast, drips with perspiration.
The report went on to describe her symptoms—the woman felt that her blood was on fire; however, it is better during the winter months. The woman had too few blood tests, but nothing highlighted anything. However, later she was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease.
According to Dr. Zoe Williams, who helps Sun UK readers with their health concerns, if acid reflux occurs more than twice a week, it may be gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. The person experiencing the symptoms may feel bloated or sick, have a bad taste in the mouth, or have smelly breath.
Such a condition is termed 'gustatory sweating.'
This is a condition in which a person may experience excessive sweating while eating, smelling, or sometimes even thinking about food. The condition can affect the face, scalp, neck, and sometimes the chest.
However, gustatory sweating can occur for no reason, or it can be linked to other medical conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson’s, and more.
