At times, acid
reflux induced difficulty in
swallowing
becomes just unbearable.
It is said to be controlled by changes in sleep
habits and diet, and proper medication. If acid
reflux is not checked for a long span of
time, several problems can occur. They might prove
to be fatal sometimes. The clinical term for this
condition is ‘dysphagia’ and many people face this
problem.
After-effects
Acid escaping from the stomach works
its way up the oesophagus. It can prove to be
quite damaging to the tissues encountered by it.
It can damage the oesophagus by way of burning it.
The throat is likely to get scarred. This scarring
might be irreversible. Just treating acid reflux
won't help. The tissues and muscles need to be
flexed for carrying out the function of
swallowing, but when charred, this can, by no
means, happen. This is the worst effect of all.
Additionally, when the LES (Lower Oesophageal
Sphincter) fails in stopping the stomach acid from
escaping into the oesophagus, the UES (Upper
Oesophageal Sphincter) closes very tightly on
instinct which makes the passage of solid food
very difficult. Many people experience difficulty
in swallowing food early in the morning because
they suffer from acid reflux at night or ‘silent
reflex.’ There may also be inflammation of throat
tissues and nerves due to GERD induced
regurgitation.
If you ever happen to suffer from
difficulty in swallowing due to acid reflux, you
should go for the holistic approach as in this
method the problem is addressed at the root level
and you can get rid of the problem at the very
basic level. This approach is a comprehensive one
that takes into account all the causes, symptoms,
treatment options and even any side-effects that
may follow the main problem.
Ways of
diagnosing
When you intend to get diagnosed for
acid reflux induced difficulty in swallowing,
doctors would be making use of a small camera to
see what has been going on in the oesophagus and
the throat. This would help them in gauging the
damage done and the path towards the remedy as
well. In certain cases, they are likely to think
that clearance will happen on its own. At times,
oesophagus needs to be stretched with the help of
a specific tool. If the situation is beyond
control, surgery can also be suggested. While
medication is going on, only 'Soft Foods' might be
advised, apart from having your medicines crushed,
and getting the necessary calories in the form of
liquid such as protein drinks.
Treatment for this disease is still not
all that prevalent in the society. But, if you
start thinking about the damage caused by the acid
to the body, you would very well recognize by
yourself the importance of seeking expert advice.
In particular, it can be very successfully treated
by the holistic approach. This approach is devoid
of all side-effects, is perfectly natural, and is
designed to give you long-lasting solutions that
don’t compromise with your overall
health.
