Question

what happened when there is an excess secretion of acid in the stomach

Answer 1

In the event that there is an excessive amount of stomach acid in the system, the lining of the stomach may not be able to defend itself against the acid and it may begin to destroy the lining. Associated with the ulcers can be bleeding and in severe cases perforation of the stomach may occur.

Answer 2

These symptoms are often a precursor to acid reflux and can occur simultaneously. Excessive acid production in the stomach potentially causes excess gas that may gather in the stomach, causing bloating or be released via belching or flatulence.
