Most people have had heartburn sometime in
their life. You probably
have experienced some of the symptoms too: acidic taste in your mouth
or the burning sensation in your chest.
It is not uncommon for anyone
to go through these symptoms occasionally, but when you have constant
heartburn, and it goes untreated, you could have some severe health
consequences.
Basically, heartburn occurs when the one-way
sphincter valve
malfunctions, allowing stomach acids and food to enter the esophagus
from the stomach.
If this is occurring irregularly, and not
that
often, you just get an uncomfortable feeling behind your breastbone
and sometimes a nasty, bitter taste in your mouth. If you are
experiencing constant heartburn, however, you can end up with burns in
your esophagus that can lead to other problems.
If you suffer from constant heartburn,
you
should consult with your
doctor as soon as possible. You could have a medical condition know
as GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). Most likely, your doctor
will prescribe you an anti-reflux medicine and run some tests to
determine the severity of your heartburn.
In addition to seeing your doctor, there are
some things that you can
do on your own to help prevent some of the symptoms. You can start
out by eating smaller healthy meals throughout the day. You should
wait a couple of hours before lying down or going to bed after eating.
There are also specific items of consumption
that can trigger constant
heartburn. Some of these include citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes
and tomato-based products, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol, soft drinks,
and tobacco. You should try to avoid these foods and beverages if you
suffer from constant heartburn.
If you are overweight, it is recommended that
you try to maintain a
healthy weight. Overweight people tend to have heartburn issues
because of the added pressure in the abdomen. You can also decrease
the pressure of the abdomen by wearing looser clothing and bending at
the knees when picking things up.
If constant heartburn is an issue for you,
don't be afraid to visit
your health care provider. You may also want to try some of these
lifestyle changes to decrease your symptoms.
