Hi there! Just a quick question you said that GERD can be caused by a lack of pressure and this is a time we want pressure to close the sphincter however pregnancy and obesity can cause gerd as well. Is this just on the other side of the spetctrum of having way too much pressure that it causes GERD? Also thank you so much for your videos. Truly helping me survive this semester!!!!
Hi! Sorry for the delay! So we want high SPHINCTER pressure because that means the sphincter will be CLOSED which means less GERD. We get worried when there is high ABDOMINAL pressures- obesity and pregnancy because it creates upward pressure which OPENS your sphincter and worsens GERD. Does this answer your question?
Your wrong it's more difficult to breath though your nose. When the stomach enzyme pepsin gets involved. People who have symptoms in their throat have issues due to them refluxing pepsin. This can get o to the vocal chords and the sinuses causing issues with breathing. The answer is C.
Hello! Thanks for the feedback. We usually do not go that deep in nursing school and focus on most common or hallmark symptoms based on our textbook. You’re right that symptoms can vary.
