Where did these horrible feeling in the stomach and how to extinguish the fire?
Your stomach is full of special juices, which are needed to digest food. One component of this fluid is hydrochloric acid (so that you were not so wrong). Stomach wall covered with a special shell that protects it from the corrosive action of the acid, but the esophagus - no. Therefore, when a portion of the gastric juice fall into this tube, you feel horrible, sometimes just unbearable burning sensation. In medicine, this is called the release of a mysterious word "reflux".
Earn reflux easy. To do this, you need to fried and fatty, chocolate, coffee, milk (and even better cream), soda, something sour (same oranges), and, of course, fresh pastries. If you do not like it all, then you just need to eat something more, quickly and preferably overnight.

2. To soothe the violent processes in the stomach antacid accept. Now drugstore you can find many such funds, for example, Almagel, Maalox, Gaviscon and others. Doctors believe that it is better to use liquid formulations, they begin to act faster than tablets.
3. Do not try to relieve the pain with the help of milk. There is an opinion that milk helps toheartburn. Yes, in the first 5 minutes while you drink it some relief is possible by enveloping effect, but then get worse. Milk increases the secretion of digestive juices, and therefore the acid.
4. Also beware of mint. It reduces the effect of naturally flap that protects the esophagus from stomach contents entering.
