| What to do about Acid Reflex GERD GastroEsophageal Reflux |
 |
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) or
Acid Reflux is an abnormal reflux (Backflow)
of gastric contents into the esophagus,
creating a mucosal damage. This disease
strikes adult, while infants and children can
be affected. Eating certain foods, obesity,
pregnancy, or sleeping right after eating a
heavy meal can cause acid reflux from time
to time.
Heartburn or acid indigestion is another name
for acid reflux causes a burning uneasiness
at the back of the sternum.
The symptoms may come as coughing, voice
transformation, hoarseness, constant ear
ache, or sinusitis. The complications brought
upon by acid reflux may lead to esophageal
ulcers or worse this can lead to esophageal
cancer.
However, constant heartburn does not
necessarily mean that one has GERD already.
The risk occurs when heartburn happened more
than once a week, and could develope into
GERD.
