What Is The Link Between Acid Reflux And Depression?
My new Acid Reflux program has given me amazing results!
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.
Chest pain, bad throat, dry cough, bad breath and difficulty swallowing are reported by them. Some people experience long term acid reflux disease but they don’t experience heartburn.
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.
As with other chronic conditions, chronic GERD sufferers experience over a thirty percent chance of developing symptoms of depression, compared to roughly ten percent of otherwise healthy people.
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.
Moreover, people do not to many things they would otherwise love to do. They just spend most of their time thinking about different ways to manage the problem.
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.
Even if you do not experience depression from your acid reflux condition I would recommend you to try the natural acid reflux programs. They come with proven results and with no side effects.
