STOMACH PAIN
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when acid from the stomach often flows back into the tube that connects to your mouth and stomach (throat). This backwash (acid reflux) is irritating reflux in the esophagus.
SYMPTOMS OF STOMACH ACIDITY:
- Feeling hot in the chest (heartburn), usually after a meal, which can be very bad at night.
- Chest pain
- Difficulty swallowing
- Repetition of food or sour liquid
- Feeling a lump in your throat
- Chronic cough
- Laryngitis
- New or worse asthma
- Sleep disorders
- Causes
- Unhealthy eating habits
- Skipping meals or eating at odd times
- Eating just before bedtime
- Overeating
- Consumption of spicy foods
- Eat too much table salt
- Foods with low fiber intake
- When you swallow, a round muscle band around the bottom of your throat (lower leg throat) loosens so that food and fluid can flow into your stomach. Then the sphincter closes again.
- If the sphincter loosens abruptly or becomes weaker, stomach acid can flow back into your throat. This frequent acid bath irritates the lining of your throat, often causing it to swell.
- Obesity
- Abdominal rupture up to the diaphragm (hiatal hernia)
- Pregnancy
- Degenerative tissue disorders, such as scleroderma
- Delay of abortion
The problem:
- Decreased esophagus (esophagus). Injury to the lower duct from stomach acid causes red tissue to form. Red tissue slows the digestive tract, leading to digestive problems.
- Open wound in the esophagus (esophagus). Stomach acid can age the tissues in the esophagus, creating an open wound. A sore throat can bleed, cause pain and make swallowing difficult.
- A cancerous change in the throat (Barrett's throat). Damage from the acid can cause changes in the muscles in the lower roof. These changes are associated with an increased risk of throat cancer.
TEST FOR DIAGNOSING STOMACH ACIDITY:
Ephezulu Advanced endoscopy
- Assessment of ambulatory acid (pH) probe.
- Esophageal manometry.
- X-ray of your upper digestive system.
