Indigestion At Its Worst
Indigestion at its Worst: Acid Reflux
When a person feels a burning sensation rising from their stomach into their lings and eventually into their throat, they may be suffering
from acid reflux. This is a disease that affects millions of people each year. It cannot be cured, but can be controlled through diet,
exercise, and medication. Acid reflux is when the body makes too much stomach acid. This acid can escape and travel to the lungs. It
burns and can cause a person to become very sick. People who are under great amounts of stress usually suffer from acid reflux. There
is a risk of heart attack when a person has acid reflux. The acid can damage arteries and make blood flow almost impossible. Treating
acid reflux immediately is recommended.

uncomfortable feeling to disappear. When a person suffers from acid reflux, it could take days before a person will feel better. After two

foods they should eat the kinds of foods they should avoid.
Acid reflux can be regulated with medications sometimes. For some, medication is not enough, for others, it is all they need to live a
happy, productive life. Some medications can help the body refrain from producing as much acid. Others can help close sore or ulcers
that may be in the stomach that can produce acid. With medication, a person will not experience as much Indigestion at its Worst: Acid Reflux
