What Causes Acid Reflux Disease?

One common cause of acid reflux disease is a stomach abnormality called a hiatal hernia. This occurs when the upper part of the stomach and LES move above the diaphragm, a muscle that separates your stomach from your chest. Normally, the diaphragm helps keep acid in our stomach. But if you have a hiatal hernia, acid can move up into your esophagus and cause symptoms of acid reflux disease.

These are other common risk factors for acid reflux disease:

Eating large meals or lying down right after a meal
Being overweight or obese
Eating a heavy meal and lying on your back or bending over at the waist
Snacking close to bedtime
Eating certain foods, such as citrus, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods
Drinking certain beverages, such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea
Smoking
Being pregnant
Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, certain muscle relaxers, or blood pressure medications


What Are the Symptoms of Acid Reflux Disease?

Common symptoms of acid reflux are:

Heartburn: a burning pain or discomfort that may move from your stomach to your abdomen or chest, or even up into your throat
Regurgitation: a sour or bitter-tasting acid backing up into your throat or mouth

Other symptoms of acid reflux disease include:

Bloating
Bloody or black stools or bloody vomiting
Burping
Dysphagia -- a narrowing of your esophagus, which creates the sensation of food being stuck in your throat
Hiccups that don't let up
Nausea
Weight loss for no known reason
Wheezing, dry cough, hoarseness, or chronic sore throat


Can Acid Reflux Disease Be Treated With Diet and Lifestyle Changes?

One of the most effective ways to treat acid reflux disease is to avoid the foods and beverages that trigger symptoms. Here are other steps you can take:

Eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day.
Quit smoking.
Put blocks under the head of your bed to raise it at least 4 inches to 6 inches.
Don't eat at least 2 to 3 hours before lying down.
Try sleeping in a chair for daytime naps.
Don't wear tight clothes or tight belts.
If you're overweight or obese, take steps to lose weight with exercise and diet changes.
Also, ask your doctor whether any medication could be triggering your heartburn or other symptoms of acid reflux disease.

When there are hospitals everywhere in the country and I'm planning to be a doctor, who will I treat?

If our president can go, why not you. Get well soon bro.

sis what course did u study pls?

So much ignorance. Why would anyone waste so much resources; Time, Money, Personal health risks and even loose money on shows refund when the treatment for Acid Reflux costs less than 500 naira and is almost every home.

Makes me remember the Quote from the Daila Lama 'A man ignores his health, works damn hard to make money, then looses his health and spends and looses much money in order to recover his health...

Ignorance knows no class.

1.diot . What doe this topic has to do with Nigeria President? That is how illiterate like you fail exams. All your mission is to look for opportunity to blame others for your failure to be responsible in your life.

Jezzuuuz.....is this your bile outpouring just on what he posted?

The comparison between the two is that they have constituencies. Nigeria is PMB constituency, while the music fan base of Teckno is his constituency, also in Nigeria.

One left his constituency without telling them what his trip was about, the other left and informed his constituency. Is that why you are calling him Idi0t and irresponsible in life?

Someone cannot even abuse , sorry criticize your president in peace.
