01
Is heartburn really a heartburn? What's going on?
In fact, sadness is a disease, but it is not a heart disease, let alone a problem with the heart, and the burning is actually the esophagus.
Reflux esophagitis refers to the symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, belching, pain, and difficulty swallowing caused by excessive regurgitation of gastroduodenal contents into the esophagus.
Under the performance of gastroscopy, there are ulcers and erosions of the mucosal membrane of the esophagus, and it is generally high incidence of long-term smoking, drinking, obesity and mental stress in middle-aged and elderly people, and both men and women can get the disease.

In addition to the typical "reflux" and "heartburn", reflux esophagitis has the following symptoms:
1. Difficulty swallowing or retrosternal foreign body sensation
This is because symptoms caused by esophageal spasm or dysfunction are intermittent and may occur when eating solid or liquid foods, and a small number of patients have difficulty swallowing due to narrowing of the esophagus, which is persistent or progressively worse.
2. Chest pain
Chest pain is caused by reflux irritation of the esophagus, generally occurs in severe retrosternal pain may appear severe stinging, can radiate to the back, chest, behind the ears, shoulders, neck, sometimes like angina, can be accompanied by or without reflux and heartburn symptoms.
3. Extrao-diet symptoms
Extraesophageal symptoms include non-seasonal onset, nocturnal asthma, hoarseness after waking up, cough, otitis media, and more. In addition, if the gastric juice regurgitates into the respiratory tract, it may also cause recurrent aspiration pneumonia to appear.

What if it's always heartburning? Teach you 4 methods or can alleviate
Don't lie down right away after eating
It is best not to lie down immediately after meals, which will affect digestion and even appear symptoms of acid reflux.
It is recommended that you can stand or walk after meals, which can not only promote digestion but also play a role in controlling weight.
Active medical attention
After having acid reflux and heartburn symptoms, if it is impossible to determine what is causing it, the patient first needs to go to the hospital to see if there are any signs of complications.
At the same time, gastroscopy can also obtain pathological tissue for biopsy, and then distinguish with other esophageal diseases, and use the most suitable method of treatment under the guidance of doctors, which can accelerate the improvement of the condition.
Three meals are served regularly and quantitatively
The most basic way to nourish the stomach is to eat a light diet, eat three meals regularly and quantitatively, and pay attention to chewing and swallowing slowly. Some people have a habit of eating supper, but this practice is very wrong.
Because our body has its own biological clock, into the night, the whole organism will be in a state of trimming, if too late to eat too much food, it is very easy to cause food to regurgitate to the airway and mouth, causing heartburn, cough and even vomiting.
Therefore, usually try not to eat supper, even if you eat supper, you have to wait for 1 hour to go to sleep.
Quit smoking and drinking
Both nicotine and ethanol in tobacco can stimulate gastric acid secretion, and increased gastric acid in the stomach leads to increased corrosiveness of reflux, causing more severe heartburn symptoms.
In addition, nicotine and ethanol can also cause damage to the gastric mucosa, which is one of the causes of gastritis and gastric ulcers, and smoking and alcohol cessation are crucial for the health of the stomach.
Conclusion: Heartburn is a common symptom in life, usually should pay attention to avoid overeating, if the heartburn often occurs, or accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, should be timely to the regular hospital to check and confirm the diagnosis, clear cause in order to solve the problem.
