A Mattress or Pillow Wedge Eases Acid Reflux Symptoms

Painful and dangerous are two words that can be used to describe acid reflux. Acid reflux is a disorder where stomach acid moves from the stomach and up to the esophagus. Acid reflux can affect a lot about a person, and can make certain things be painful and more difficult due to the problems and symptoms of acid reflux. These symptoms range from heartburn, nausea, chest pains, regurgitation, sore throat, and more.

Eating too much food with acid is one cause of heartburn. Heartburn is a major symptom of acid reflux, and it creates a burning pain from the stomach to the chest. The burning pain can be very distracting. Chest pains are another symptom; they can be similar to heartburn in that they travel from the stomach to the chest and can be debilitating. Nausea is another of the more common symptoms and a key sign that someone has acid reflux is they feel nauseous very frequently, particularly after eating.

The sensation of acid backing up your throat and into your mouth is called regurgitation. It can lead to vomiting and can be very dangerous for the esophagus, as acid constantly moving up the throat can wear away at the esophagus’ protective lining. This can also cause chronic sore throat, which is a large problem due to the wearing away of the protective lining. Chronic sore throat often happens to people who are experiencing many other symptoms of the disease.

There are two other very dangerous symptoms, more dangerous that the other, called dysphagia and dyspepsia. Dysphagia is when someone has trouble swallowing, and this can be very dangerous because if left untreated, food and liquids can find their way into the lungs. That can be life threatening and can make the enjoyment of food disappear for some people. Dyspepsia is also known as indigestion. This happens when food cannot be digested, and it can lead to an upset stomach and vomiting. Both dyspepsia and dysphagia are very dangerous due to the fact that they can create many more health problems.

Treatment for acid reflux is easy to come by! Having a healthy lifestyle is the most important. By eating bad foods, junk food, or food with lots of acid, the stomach will be bothered and worsen acid reflux symptoms. Eating healthy and exercising can help keep acid reflux at bay. Sleeping is also very important. Most people have acid reflux symptoms at night, and this is because of how many people sleep with bad sleeping posture. Because of this, it makes sense that you should have a great mattress and a pillow wedge. A serta sleeper and a tempurpedic pillow are perfect! If you elevate your head and chest, it makes it harder for the acid to move up your throat, protecting the protective lining of the esophagus. Two pillows stacked on top of each other are not helpful, since it only elevates the head. A wedge pillow will greatly ease acid reflux symptoms!

Help Your Back Pain With a Mattress

Your life can slow, even stop, because of chronic back pain. It can prevent you from making breakfast, from going to work, from exercising, from sleeping. There are many forms of treatment and many medications for back pain, disorders, and conditions. If you have chronic back pain, you should see your doctor to figure out the right path for you, and what treatments you could do to ease your pain.

Everyone should have a great mattress, first of all. Your sleep is important, and because of that so is the mattress that you chose to use. Lack of sleep creates stress, anxiety, and daytime exhaustion. Chronic back pain makes it incredible difficult to get a good night’s sleep, since you are in pain, stressed out about being in pain, and this creates difficulty sleeping. Using a great, comfortable mattress is a step in the right direction.

Using an old mattress actually worsens back pain. If a mattress does not properly support someone, this reinforces bad sleeping posture and strains muscles. It causes the spine to be out of alignment, which then contributes even more to chronic back pain! If you have an old or bad mattress, you are compromising your sleep. Your back will be in even more pain, and in some cases shoulder pain and other sorts of pain. A new mattress significantly reduces discomfort. Sometimes your old mattress will sag in the middle and have worn out springs.

There are so many mattresses out there! It can be easy to find one that suits all of your needs! Tempurpedic mattresses adjust to your shape and body curves and will keep your spine aligned, creating good sleeping posture. Adjustable beds are great for sleeping problems. There are other such as Serta and Five Star Mattresses that can help you get the sleep you deserve and to live a pain free life!

Stop or Help Sleep Apnea With a Mattress

Those with sleep apnea are often looking for constant relief. There are many options, solutions, and practices that are available to help sleep apnea. Sleep apnea, a disorder where the person repeatedly stops breathing during sleep. It can create snoring, and many other dangerous side effects. There are many things to do to help, such as corrective breathing devices and lifestyle changes. 

Without treatment, sleep apnea can be dangerous and have serious consequences. People with sleep apnea actually lose a third of sleep a night, which can cause them to be drained and exhausted during the day. The snoring and choking noises that many with sleep apnea make during sleep can also affect the sleep of partners, creating grumpy people all around. Because of how much sleep one with sleep apnea loses, it is clear that they can accrue a lot of sleep debt. From sleep debt other symptoms can arises, such as daytime fatigue, headaches, high blood pressure, weight gain, and cardiovascular disease.  Though snoring can seem harmless, it can be dangerous and should be paid attention to.

Some of the sleep apnea treatments that are available are drastic. Some require life changes, such as learning to sleep with a breathing aid, and more. A less drastic way than a breathing aid is to find a great mattress or a Tempurpedic bed. Tempurpedic mattresses are perfect. They conform to your body shape, allowing you a deep, restful sleep. Without comfort, you cannot have a good night’s sleep. Without a good night’s sleep, it is very difficult to rid yourself of stress and anxiety, two causes of sleep apnea. Additionally, having a comfortable bed that suits your needs will help through the way that you breathe.

Sleep apnea often affects those who sleep on their back, as well as those who are overweight. The weight of one’s body can press down on their chest and reduce air flow, or cut it off entirely. Using a Tempurpedic mattress makes it easier for people to sleep on their sides, and so the sleep turns less and breathes more freely. The mattress will also help to keep the spine aligned, which also allows better air flow and better breathing. Bad posture can lead to sleep apnea as well as discomfort, and Tempurpedic mattresses can help to change that; with a great mattress, you can be on the road to a great night’s sleep!

Sleep Apnea Symptoms Can Be Eased With a Great Mattress

People snore. It’s a common thing. It might be your mother, father, sister, brother, partner, wife, husband. No matter who it is, no one likes to be woken at three am to snorts and choking noises, otherwise known as sleep apnea.

There are many forms of sleep apnea, and snoring is the most common symptom. Though sleep apnea is a very common thing, doctors suspect that it goes undiagnosed in 80 to 90 percent of people. It is basically described as abnormal breathing during sleep; due to this breathing, those with sleep apnea do not sleep well and are often exhausted during the day. There are other more dangerous symptoms, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and auto accidents. Sleep apnea can be treated, with lifestyle changes and more.

One of those lifestyle changes is a great mattress or an adjustable bed, such as a Tempurpedic mattress. A great mattress is key to a great sleep, and it can help decrease sleep apnea and snoring, which is great for everyone, especially the one with sleep apnea.

The reason that a Tempurpedic mattress or a memory foam topper is so helpful is because most people sleep on their back or front, and do not sleep on their side because it is uncomfortable for many, especially those who are overweight. But when one uses a Tempurpedic mattress, it makes it easier for people to sleep on their side rather than their back. The sleeper therefore will toss and turn less, will breathe more easily, and will wake up feeling well rested. Memory foam and Tempurpedic mattresses also help to keep the spine aligned. This makes for easier air flow and better breathing. A major cause of sleep apnea could be poor body posture at night, or due to sleeping on a hard, uncomfortable mattress. With a good mattress, sleep apnea could be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Great sleep is just a mattress away! Though sleep apnea is very common, and most people snore and toss and turn, there are ways to help alleviate your discomfort. With an adjustable Tempurpedic bed, you can help ease the symptoms of sleep apnea, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and loud snoring. Come on in to talk mattresses today!
