Question

What is the effect of acidity on the body?

Answer 1

If the level of this HCl exceeds its normal levels, it results in acidity/acid reflux. Higher levels of HCl can result in the following effects on the body:

1. burning sensation in the stomach
2. burning sensation in the throat and heart
3. difficulty in swallowing
4. regurgitation
5. restlessness
6. belching
7. nausea
8. prolonged sour taste in the mouth
9. indigestion

Exposure to higher levels of HCl for longer durations can also result in the development of peptic ulcers in the stomach.
