      Change your diet and follow this drs advice. If you are 50 and older your body stops producing stomach acid. Meds decrease what little acid you have. Take apple cider vinegar and HCL.

    When it happens to me, it's usually(for whatever reason)right before my cycle. It comes if I eat 3 hours before bedtime. Last night I ate exactly 3 hours before, it came but not as heavily(thank goodness). When it comes on hard, which is nearly every time, It wakes me up by feeling a sloshing of the acid/vomit tasting liquid, into my throat or back of nose. I immediately sit up. Usually my pets are wide awake and know it's happening before I do.. they all circle around me and stare like they are nervous. Then I sit there and have a horrific climbing of burning that takes my entire breath away, feels like my chest & heart will explode from the spicy/heavy pain. I also have to swallow over & over again this entire time.. over and over. Usually it reaches a"peak",at that point I'm usually trembling all over from the pain. That lasts about 2 mins but it's super scary. There's nothing to stop that climbing up.. after the initial splash that wakes me up. I am upright the whole time.. it all lasts around 20 mins to 40 mins. When it settles, I am finally able to lay down on my left, highly elevated. I take tiny sips of cool water moments before trying to go back to sleep. Every breath is painful. When I wake up in the morning, I have asperated bc I have a WET, heavy cough every time. I usually cough all day and can taste vomit when I cough(sorry, tmi). This whole ordeal is super scary.. but your advice is the best I've seen thus far on YT shorts.

    I wonder what's your opinion on drinking lemon juice for GERD. Just squeeze two lemons and swallow the juice straight up once a day, did that for 2 weeks and my GERD was gone. A possible explanation is that the sphincter is not fully closed due to lack of acidity in the stomach. By increasing pH with lemon juice, the sphincter closes tight and reflux just stops.

      @@divine1562 yeah, I had the same reaction when told about it, very counterintuitive. I was taking pantoprazole for months following doctor's orders, symptoms improved, as soon as I stopped, they all came back. I said hell I'll try lemons, after about two weeks I was back to normal (I might have improved despite the lemons, hard to prove either way, but I didn't get worse and now only swallow lemon juice for 1 or 2 days very occasionally, when symptoms return, which is rare, and I improve). You want the juice of 2 lemons with all the pulp you get (don't sift it) and to swallow fast, don't let the juice linger in your mouth, it's bad for your teeth and it'll fire up your salivary glands like crazy (plus the extra acidity can cause canker sores). Just wash your mouth afterwards and don't swallow any water with the juice or after for a while, let it linger undiluted in the stomach a bit.
      Apparently lemons for stomach issues is part of greek culture since ancient times.

I’m sooooooooo hungry but I’m too afraid to eat. I literally had one small piece of ginger and it’s been sitting in my throat for about 15 minutes. Also, it would be nice to sleep again, it’s extremely difficult to sleep at a 45 degree incline. I can’t even enjoy my life. I’m so tired and hungry and I have to wait days to see if these medications even work. I have testing procedures scheduled in 2 months. Because that was the earliest appointment they had. This Gerd ish sucks !! I guess I don’t have to do a New Years resolution to lose weight. Not being about to eat one rice grain is a sure fire way to get slim. Plus, the Phillies are in the World Series, I don’t bother going to the parties I’m inviting too. Beer, wings, pizza etc I can’t even eat ginger!!! The definition of a living hell.

    There is compelling evidence that suggests that heartburn is caused by too little acid in the stomach which causes the sphincter to relax, allowing the fluid (still somewhat acidic) to enter the esophagus which gets burned. One should read the book “Stomach acid is good for you” by an MD I think his name is Wright.

    Many of my pts started having gerd bc of drugs their drs had them take, usu for stupid reasons which could have been easily treated with other, safer methods.

      friend one question....
      i did hv a sedentary lifestyle and junk food consumption 2yrs all along...
      and now anything i eat causes acidity in stomach...
      so is it true that if i give some time to my body to heal....can i become fit again or is the damage permanent??
      Means does stopping those bad habits will help me to get my health back??
      i am just 22

      @@DragonBall-hv3rs i'm not a doctor, so I can't answer that I suggest you go to a doctor and get checked, but very few things are permanent. The body is typically self healing, unless you damage it to the point of no repair, which is unlikely at your age. But you should still go get checked.
