Acid reflux or rather chronic acid reflux is termed as Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease or GERD or heat burn. It is not a deadly type of disease yet can be too irritating and nagging for someone who has been suffering from this disease over the years. Normally what we do is when such symptoms are felt we buy digestive enzymes or antacids from medicine shop and resolve the problem effectively. I have seen people who carry such tablets or capsules with them and they take such medicines without doctors' permission. People take medicines just to get rid of complications of acid reflux. To be honest there are some people who take antacids without any reason; they are afraid of this disease and take medicines as precautions. But we must not deal with it in such way. We have to deep delve in to the matter to solve it for entire life.
A first thing that comes in mind is diet. GERD is mainly caused due to unhygienic or unhealthy diet. We all prefer fast food; they are not all bad. But spice food items are too harmful for us. Such foods put too much of stress on our digestive system and cause acid reflux. Thus, it is the best way to cut short our daily food items. Light, healthy and easy edible foods are the best choice for us when we are on our way to drive acid reflux permanently.
It happens; you by chance take some food that creates digestive problems to you. What will happen? If you have the tendency you may once again get affected by GERD. So it is better to avoid such unhygienic food items as much as possible. If the problem seems to be chronic please take advice from a medical practitioner; never risk your life.
Never underestimate cause-effect of GERD. It may turn in to several deadly diseases if it remains at the untreated condition over the years. It may turn in to ulcers, esophageal ulcers, throat inflammation and ulcers in throat region, lung infection and many more. So it is always advisable to be careful of acid reflux.
Heat burn can be treated with some changes in daily lifestyle.
Never take fried or spicy food items
Stop smoking then and there
Stop hard drinks i.e. alcohol, coffee
Medicines; not necessarily regular antacids; better take medicines as per as doctor recommendation. ----> Pevacid coupons <---
Finally if it is suspected to be GERD go for endoscopy; in will give you fair idea about the damage it has done to your body. In critical cases one may be asked to undergo biopsy.
So be careful and take immediate measures if you seem you are suffering from any of these common symptoms of GERD or acid reflux or heat burn.
