Pain, Depression, and Reflux

Joanne Said:

Is it okay to drink apple and/or cranberry juice with acid reflux symptoms?

We Answered:

Once you're symptoms are resolved it's okay to eat or drink anything in moderation. You should avoid too much of certain foods and drinks and never eat within 2 hours of bedtime if you have problems with acid reflux. If you are getting acid reflux frequently you could look at starting a proton pump inhibitor like prilisec or omeprazole and see a doctor.

Brenda Said:

Quick cure for acid reflux symptoms?

We Answered:

I have the same problem. Sorry man. Prilosec is the best thing I've found yet. If you have some Tums or Rolaids around they work for an hour or so at a time. A glass of milk helps for maybe an hour, but just a little.

What are the symptoms of Acid Reflux?

We Answered:

Basically, painful heartburn, which can occur at any time, but many people suffer it when lying down at night.

Symptoms can differ; but mainly consist of nausea/sickness, burning pain (heartburn), especially after meals or on lying down. Sometimes relief from the pain is only obtained by making oneself sick.

If you suspect you have this, then visit your doctor as soon as you can. It is easily cured, unless you are taking tablets which may cause this as a side-effect.

Andrea Said:

Does anyone know the symptoms of acid reflux?

We Answered:

sure i had it, The first and more noticeable symptom is the heartburn. You wake up in the middle of the night with a terrible burning sensation that starts by your upper stomach and can even reach your throrat. You can also develop a hiatal hernia, which means that the valve that keep the hydrochloric acid into the stomach is defective due to the same action of the acid and then there is a discomfort right where the ribs cage opens to the stomach. If you suspect that you suffer acid reflux there is something you can do to test (out of the gastroscopy test), put 1 or 2 inches high bricks underneath the upper side of your bed, in order for your body to sleep in an angle. The gravity will keep the acid in your stomach and you will feel immediate relief. You will wake up fresh and happy, then you know what you were missing. I was treated of hiatal hernia and reflux, got over it tks to this little advice my doc gave me.. opps i forgot something , antiacids are to be used only under pain to avoid extra burning of tissue during a crisis but not as treatment!!!! inhibitors of the proton pump are the right choice, but the bricks are the best! good luck

Raymond Said:

How long does acid reflux symptoms last?

We Answered:

I am not sure I understand your question. Acid reflux is a condition where acid from the stomach goes up the esophagus. Are you saying that you have an excessive amount of saliva that you swallow because of an acidic sensation in your throat? To answer the stated question, without treatment the symptoms of acid reflux usually only get worse with time, they don't go away on there own.

Juanita Said:

Allen Said:

What are acid reflux symptoms?

We Answered:

Some of the symptoms of Acid Reflux are heartburn, chest pain, difficulty in swallowing and regurgitation (bringing food back up into the mouth).

It can last several months or longer if not treated. Drug treatment is often only needed for a short time although it may have to be repeated since some symptoms may re-occur.

I would say make a doctor appointment just to be safe.
