subject: Determining the Chief Signs of Acid Reflux [print this page] Nobody likes having acid refluxNobody likes having acid reflux. It can be bothersome. It can be agonizing. If the attack is on the bad side, it can get you down for a bit. The good news is that there are plenty of different treatments available to people who suffer from extreme heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. By all means, selecting the optimal treatment plan for you will depend on your being able to tell what some of the primary indicators of acid reflux are. In this article we will share some of the signs of acid reflux that you should be able to recognize.
Does eating a small amount of food sometimes make you feel very full? Do you have a feeling of being bloated for no obvious reason? These could be signs of the start of a bout of acid reflux. Of course, in some cases you may feel very full or bloated because you really ate a lot. Yet if it's been a while since your last large meal and you still feel bloated, this could be a symptom of acid reflux. You can use a symptom like this as a signal to take whatever action your doctor has advised, assuming you've been given a treatment plan. If you don't yet have a treatment, you should visit a doctor to find out if you really have acid reflux.
Most acid reflux sufferers feel a seering pain from their stomach to their throats. This is a form of heartburn. It is not as easily recognized as the other form of heartburn (the burning pain in the chest area) but it is just as important. You should seek medical attention if you feel like your throat or esophagus is on fire.
You might not have a very serious case of this illness, but it is always good to get it checked out just to be sure.
At times, people who are affected by acid reflux have to confront something called a "wet burp." The "wet burp" is one of the gross things about acid reflux. This is when you have to burp and when you do actually burp, a little bit of bile or stomach acid comes up your esophagus and into your mouth. This is unlike vomiting, from the perception that you are able to swallow the bile back down again. The scarcity of fierceness in the backup is another reason this is different from throwing up. At the same time, the "wet burp" is put in a collection of signs called "regurgitation."
You probably already know how annoying Acid Reflux can be. It can cause major organ deterioration but doesn't typically have to disrupt your life outwardly. The treatment is usually as easy as over the counter antacids or reflux meds.
Once in a while, though, more serious treatment is needed to correct the problem. Your physcian can help you decide how best to treat your condition. Thankfully, once you have your disease diagnosed you should be able to get back to your regular life.
