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!
