Has anyone else experienced this? I have never in my life (52 yrs.) had any problem with heartburn or acid reflux. But often when I'm doing my swim practices, and pushing hard, I get something like acid reflux - a slight burning in my esophagus. At times it persists throughout the day. I never have a problem on days I don't practice. I've thought of experimenting with calcium pills before workouts, since I know working muscles hard uses a lot of calcium, but I have no basis for thinking that is related.
I'd be interested in any thoughts on its cause, remedies, etc. It's a minor annoyance, but striking for me since I've never had problems of this nature ever before.
Thoughts? Experiences? Solutions?
I practice at noon, always eat in the morning (cereal or toast with peanut butter), and don't eat for about 2 hours before workouts. It often persists after I eat lunch following the workout. I've varied the morning intake leaving out milk or coffee to see if it is worse or better, and see no pattern yet. The only constant is that it's there when I push really hard in practice.
