Acid Reflux

This test provides information concerning the frequency and duration of episodes of acid reflux. It can also provide information related to the timing of these episodes.

yes you can it is better if you take natural remedies such as an apple a day. i have had the same problem for over 3 years, the doctors always give me different medication but it doesn't help for long. I have started eating an apple a day for like 2 weeks now, i have noticed that my stomach has gone better, i can digest food properly and eat everything

No. Acid reflux has got nothing to do with the heart. It is called 'heart burn' solely because the burning sensation may seem to be coming from the heart.

It has worked for me in the passed. If you are taking an antacid pill it will be rough getting off of the pill but this lasted only a day or so for me. Now if i get a flare up again i just drink a large drink of orange juice with dinner.

I just got done taking codeine most of last week due to strep throat and another throat virual infection. I did keep taking my prilosec and zantac with no immediate reaction. However, I now have a very painful squeezing feeling in the middle of my chest that is making nearly impossible to eat or drink. It feels like someone is sqeezing my heart. I have heard that codeine is not good for reflux patients and I found out the hard way why!!

yes

There can be multiple reasons for acid reflux, but one of the more common ones is an improper or incomplete closure of the pyloric valve. This is situated at the top of the stomach, and is supposed to keep stomach acid from moving into the esophagus.

i believe so, i have had a hiatal hernia for over 6 months now and have experienced no problems with marijuana other then making it when its uncomfortable more bearable.

mono means one poly means many, mer means repeating units. so monopoly-mer means nothing

Apples, bananas, tomatoes would be about the only ones.

Acid Reflux can be a very painful condition for babies. The best place to find information on treating this condition is at the baby's pediatrician. The pediatrician can evaluate and diagnose the problem, and then prescribe an appropriate treatment.

Acid reflux is when stomach acids rise into the esophagus and burn the walls. The stomach can bear the harsh acids because the stomach is lined with walls that protect the other organs. Some people get ulcers which are holes in the stomach's lining (very painful) :( If the stomach acids make their way too far to the top of the esophagus the walls of the esophagus are burned because they do not have protective lining walls mostly because acid is not meant to be there! :) hope this helped

Obvious signs of acid reflex are heartburn after eating certain foods. There are also times when a person almost throws up in his/her mouth the acid coming up from the stomach.

I have GERD and started drinking Vitamin water, which makes it worse. I'm gonna stop for two weeks and see if it gets better. I have an appointment with my GI doctor in 2 weeks so we'll see if it gets better. I hope it's not the case, as I love Vitamin water.

I also have GERD and have noticed that Vitamin Water has Citric Acid as a primary ingrident. It make conditions worse. I just got GERD and it happened after starting to drink Vitamin Water on a daily basis. Not saying Vitamin Water was the cause there could be other factors as well. But I have stopped drinking Vitamin Water as precaution.

Yes, I think so

GERD, or GastroEsophageal Reflux Disorder is the condition. Results of GERD vary from mild to critical. Everyone has experienced GERD a few times -- as heartburn. And in these cases it's not critically dangerous. In chronic situations, however, the gastric acids can erode tissues of the esophagus and larynx resulting in what amounts to chemical burns of these areas. In extreme cases, ulcers can form, and bleeds in the esophagus can be nasty. Laryngitis, temporary or permanent can also be one result. If the gastric liquid is inhaled, however, real problems can occur. Pneumonitis, an pneumonia-like inflamation of lung tissue can result, which in turn can light off bronchial spasms and asthma-like symptoms that can lead to hypoxia and even death. Further, the damage to the lungs may cause an influx of serum into the lung as it heals, and in turn increases chances of pulmonary infection. Inhalation of gastric liquids is cause to call a doctor. Recovery time for this runs up to about 9 days, roughly.

I just had shoulder surgery one week ago today. Several days ago the acid reflux started. I have NEVER had acid reflux in my life, so I have to assume it is from the surgery/anesthesia/meds. After 4 days I stopped taking pain meds (narcotics) except a little bit of Ibuprofen (600mg) at night to sleep. The last two nights the acid reflux is much worse. I have been sleeping in a sitting position/laying/sitting on the couch.

I don't have an answer for you about what causes it or how long it will last, I just wanted to tell you that I have it too so maybe it is normal. Good luck.

Acid reflux is bad at night because gravity is no longer on your side. This is also called silent reflux. The body is laying fairly flat and this allows for the acidity from your stomach to travel up into your chest and throat damaging everything in its path.

To help in preventing acid rain, efforts and technologies should be directed towards minimizing the emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides that are emitted through the use of fossil fuel for power generation.

Some potential complications of gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD that can develop overtime include a narrowing of the esophagus, Barrett's esophagus, and erosive esophagitis. You may also experience other problems in the area such as throat, teeth, and the airway to your lungs.

what is malfunctioning is usually the sphincter muscle at the bottom of the esophagus

Some symptoms of acid reflux disease are the regurgitation of food, difficulty swallowing, coughing, wheezing, and chest pain. Occasional acid reflux can be treated with over-the-counter medication such as Tums, Pepcid AC, and Prilosec OTC. However, if signs and symptoms worsen, see your doctor.
