The major symptom of Acid Reflux Disease is heartburn. Other symptoms include a burning chest, acidic taste in your mouth, nausea and vomiting, and a dry cough. Note that an individual may have one or all the symptoms.
The condition in some people is more pronounced than others. Some people are totally affected such that they can not go on with their everyday lives normally.
Acid Reflux Disease is a lifestyle condition. This means that we can be able to control and/or prevent the disease. The causes of the disease are very many but we are going to highlight a few of them. These include: smoking, taking alcohol, overeating, pregnancy, obesity, sleeping to soon after a meal, taking acidic fruits and fatty foods.
The prevention therefore is understanding what triggers your condition and doing away with it. In obese people one would need to lose the extra pounds. This will not only keep the condition in check but will also improve your health.
If pregnant, there is not much you can do but to eat small portions of food more frequently. You should also avoid putting more pressure on the stomach when seating down or bending. Acid Reflux Disease in pregnancy is caused by the pressure put on the stomach by the weight of the baby. As the baby grows the stomach is pushed up into the diaphragm thus increasing chances of the reflux.
