Gastroesophageal reflux disease, signs easily overlooked in medicine
Acid reflux is a typical symptom of gastroenteritis. Many people find it very easy to detect and treat acid reflux.
But the fact is, there are many signs of vagueness, which the person can not detect, from acid reflux disease.
Many symptoms of acid reflux disease, is confused with another disease.
Acid reflux disease, if not detected and treated early, can lead to stomach, esophagus, even gastric - esophageal cancer.
If the symptoms appear below, you may be suffering from acid reflux.
1. Chest pain.
The stomach functions digestively, thanks to the gastric juice, which has a strong acidic presence in the stomach, which is caused by a covering film.
But when people eat too much food, for a short time, especially greasy foods,
will cause acid, (gastric juice), reflux into the esophagus.
Here the esophagus is not protected, so it will be affected by the acid of the stomach.
The patient will have a burning sensation in the epigastrium, a more severe pain in the chest.
Many people think the pain is a heart attack.
If you experience chest pain after eating, or pain when exercising, go to a health facility,
For a digestive or cardiovascular examination, only the doctor is the one who determines the best cause for your chest pain.
2. Pain is heavier when lying down.
Acids in the stomach when reflux into the esophagus, will cause heartburn.
Even when you lie down, bending down, these symptoms are more likely to occur.
The cause is that, when sitting or standing, gravity will help keep food in your stomach, while lying, you are more likely to suffer from acid reflux.
Because of that, doctors often advise people with heartburn to raise their heads, and should not eat before sleeping.
3. Pain after meal.
Pain in the epigastrium occurs immediately after a meal, especially a full meal, which means your stomach is overloaded.
In this case, you may not need medication, just change your eating habits.
Breaking your diet, eating slowly, using low fat foods, grease, alcohol, cigarettes, and so on will help improve the situation.
4. Bitter mouth.
Sometimes the acid escapes from your stomach, which can be up to the throat, accompanied by bile, which makes us feel bitter in our mouths.
It usually occurs, in patients with gastrointestinal disorders, (neurological disorders),
The excessive opening of the pyloric valve, the bile will be reflux from the duodenum into the stomach, followed by stomach fluids into the esophagus.
If this happens, especially in the middle of the night, you should see a doctor.
Your doctor will prescribe an acid-suppressing medication, or antacids.
This is the reason, gastric acid drugs, often prescribed by doctors for patients to drink at night, before bedtime.
5. Noise.
Whenever a person is hoarse, he or she usually thinks of a cold or flu.
However, this can also be a heartburn symptom.
Gastroenterologist and Gastroenterologist at Temple, Texas- TS. Pfanner said,
When stomach acid is absorbed into your esophagus, it can irritate the vocal cords, making your voice sound more husky than usual.
If this occurs after eating, you may have acid reflux.
Sore throat.
Sore throat is a typical symptom of colds, or flu, but in fact, this can also be a sign of a digestive problem.
Colds, flu, often cause sick people always have a sore throat, accompanied by runny or sneezing.
Without these signs, consider sore throat as a result of acid reflux.
7. Ho.
There are many symptoms of respiratory disease, such as cough, wheezing, which can be due to heartburn.
According to medical experts, it is caused by acid in the stomach entering the bronchial area, the lungs, these are the farthest away, stomach acid can move to.
Thus, it causes the patient to have a chronic cough, feeling a sore throat.
Especially it appears after eating or lying down.
When this happens, the patient needs to see a doctor, to measure the pH in the throat of the patient.
Asthma.
Coughing and wheezing, these are two symptoms, often for both the patient and the doctor, to think of asthma.
There are cases of patients with these two diseases, but also from cough, dyspnea due to heartburn, turning to asthma.
This is because gastric acid can activate the nerves in the chest, causing airway spasm, which eventually causes airways to swell, cause inflammation, and so on.
9. Nausea.
Nausea is usually a result of acid reflux.
However, if nausea can not be found, the patient should think of the disease.
Especially after you have nausea, nausea or vomiting accompanied by one of the symptoms mentioned above, you probably have acid reflux disease.
10. Add lots of saliva.
According to Dr. Coyle, Torrey Pines Medical Center in La Jolla, California said that when the mouth more saliva,
It also means that your stomach is producing too much acid, and is refluxing into the esophagus.
This involves the nerves and reflexes.
When gastric acid reflux, a natural reflex is the body that secretes saliva, to neutralize this acid.
11. Difficult to swallow.
Over time, gastrointestinal acidosis with increasing frequency, will cause the esophagus to be affected,
Severe edema may cause swelling, which eventually causes scarring that causes the esophagus to narrow, thereby making the patient feel difficult to swallow.
