Everyone has a story! Including my dad, Bob, who is a survivor of acid reflux, heartburn, hiatal hernia, gastritis, esophageal reflux, and bile reflux. In fact, acid reflux almost took his life after a stomach surgery in 1976. And the year after surgery was self-labeled, ‘the worst year of my life’ according to my dad. The year following his surgery consisted of vomiting 3 to 4 times a day because of the acid build up. And finally, a miracle occurred!

Taking A Look At Common Acid Reflux Symptoms

Acid reflux symptoms encompass everything from chest pain, nausea and shortness of breath to a sour taste in the mouth, sore throat and coughing fits. Due to its varying nature, it can masquerade itself as many other problems. How can you tell heartburn from more serious ailments that could land you in the hospital?

Acid Reflux (gastro-esophageal reflux disease) is a very common disorder that involves the regurgitation of the stomach inside the esophagus. The disorder produces symptoms such as heartburn, throat inflammation and pain, difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing. Some people experience sporadic symptoms of acid reflux, which tend to intensify after meals and during the night. However, most acid reflux disease sufferers may experience ongoing, persistent symptoms. People who are confronted with acid reflux on a frequent time basis are very exposed to the development of serious complications such as Barrett’s esophagus and even esophageal cancer. In order to keep the disorder under control and to avoid further complications, people with chronic forms of acid reflux need an appropriate medication treatment.

The treatment of acid reflux includes medications that normalize the stomach’s production of gastric acid. Considering the fact that most cases of acid reflux involve overproduction of digestive fluids and pepsin at the level of the stomach, the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease is very similar to the treatment of ulcer or gastritis.

Mysterious Instant Stomach Troubles

Going to be as brief as possible: 21, male, healthy. Large build 230, 6’2. Drank wine a bit consistently for 5-6 months, no problems. Drank other hard liquor in the past, no problems. Tried Gin on June 6th, half a bottle (Seagram’s Extra Dry mixed with lemon juice and ginger ale..I don’t usually mix, was doing so for fun). Immediately noticed I had to keep taking deep breaths/out of breath sensation, stopped. Not sure if the Japanese food (sushi etc.) could’ve had an impact. Drank Jack Daniels and rot gut vodka before, so it was not a matter of tolerance or alcohol exposure.

Next day woke up to a feeling below the throat, felt like a constant need to cough. Went to the doctor…EKG, Chest X-Ray, Barium Swallow, Spirometer/Flow Meter (lung test), Gallbladder Liver scan, all negative. Endoscopy showed a very very small 3-4 cm sliding hiatal hernia, deemed asymptomatic (does not produce symptoms) as it was so small it didn’t even show on the Barium Swallow X-ray. Endoscopy showed no irritation, irregularities or inflammation. Allergy tests showed nothing, Clarinex did nothing.
