I drink a lot of lemon/lime water, could this damage my esophagus/or stomach?

Well I had heard this was a good idea, to squeeze lemon water or lime into a glass of water. So for about 4 weeks I’ve been doing it. Probably up to 16oz a day with fresh squeezed lemon or lime mixed with water.

I thought last week I could feel some sort of pain in my stomach (mainly like the very very very beginning of heartburn along the opening of my stomach into the esophagus. So to counter the acid, I’d go ahead and squeeze a mini lime in some water and chug a glass of water. This would almost always counter the heartburn from ever occurring.

On Saturday I scarfed down a pita chicken sandwhich which was fairly hot (temperature wise) and I ate it in under ten minutes. Could this have hurt my stomach? Because initially I thought it was a typical after I eat, I have to go number 2 thing (usually with my lunch meal this occurs, it’s just that time of the day!). But now here I am on a Monday and last night I had sharp gas pains. Before the sharp pain I had ate some snap pea snacks.

I think I have a mild case of hypochondria. If I had health insurance I’d probably do a ton of walk-in appointments.

When should I be concerned about getting a check up? I’m not throwing up, nor do I have diarrhea. Just feels like a sharp gas bubble in my stomach. My stools aren’t “black” or “bloody.”

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Tips? Tricks?
