Symptoms of Acid Reflux and How to Treat Them

Once a month half of the American population has acid reflux. They could perhaps have regurgitation, or heartburn, or nausea after eating. It may seem normal, but if not treated acid reflux can lead to some serious health complications! If someone has acid reflux, they need to examine their life and perhaps make some changes.

Acid reflux symptoms can be very painful as well as damaging. Heartburn burns (hence the name), regurgitation is the sensation of acid backing up the throat (gross, to say the least), and it can wear away at the protective lining of the esophagus, which can be damaging to health. If acid reflux is left untreated, the esophagus could be badly damaged. There could be bleeding, ulcers, and scar tissue in the esophagus

You can treat it! Living healthily is the best cure. Regular exercise and making sure that you keep your like stress-free can greatly ease pain and symptoms. A nutritious diet, free of citrus, alcohol, carbonated drinks, tomatoes, and other acidy foods will greatly help to reduce those pesky symptoms. The diet is really important because those symptoms are often caused by a diet very high in acid.

One other important thing that you can do to reduce these symptoms and ensure your health is to buy a great, comfortable mattress. The majority of acid reflux symptoms occur during the night when people lie down. When you lie flat, it makes it easier for acid reflux symptoms to occur, and this in turn makes it harder to sleep! It’s a vicious cycle, and one that can be helped by using a wedge pillow. It will help to elevate the head, chest, and shoulders, making it harder for acid reflux symptoms to occur and helping to protect your esophagus.
