Amazing results was acheived through my Acid Reflux Program! Apart from having good response to the program, I have also got first hand report from you guy's that my acid reflux program has really helped. With any chronic condition such as acid reflux can be, one tends to notice themes when reading through client correspondence. One in particular is the accompanying depression symptoms that accompany chronic acid reflux. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as acid reflux, is a health condition in which liquid or food comes up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing pain and/or heartburn. The lower esophageal sphincter (LED) muscles are responsible for closing and opening the esophagus. These muscles act as a valve and when working properly, prevent food and liquids from the stomach from coming back up into the esophagus. Some sufferers experience chronic acid reflux disease but do not suffer from heartburn. They report pain in the chest, hoarse throat, dry cough, bad breath and difficulty swallowing. People who suffer at least two per week are considered that they suffer from chronic acid reflux. It does not only bring pain, in long term it can lead to erosion of tooth enamel, cancer, throat damage and respiratory damage. Comparing to other chronic problems of acid reflux, people with chronic GERD have thirty percent extra chance of developing depression when only ten percentage of people suffering otherwise. It seems that each condition feeds the other. Because of fear of symptoms of acid reflux, people tend not to go out to eat, or socialize as much with friends which can lead to a "shut in" feeling. Additionally, people often put off doing things they really enjoy because they are spending all their time trying to think up ways to manage their conditions. As ironic as it seems, some people's unhealthy lifestyles can lead to depression on their own or be exacerbated by GERD. Take alcohol consumption for example. This is a depressive drug to begin with and can trigger acid reflux. Whether or not you suffer from depression in addition to your acid reflux disease, I highly encourage you to try the all natural Acid Reflux Relief program. There is no potentially dangerous medication involved and the results are guaranteed! EL331014 About the Author:
