How
To Cure Gastric Reflux Problem To Avoid It From Turning Into Asthma Attack?
|
Gastric reflux
(also known as heartburn) is one of asthma triggers that people often get
confused on. They may think that what they are having is just another
digestion problems, but in the end asthma symptoms can also appear. So,
what is actually happening?
Gastric
reflux or
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease
(GERD)
is a
condition when acid from your stomach flow up to your esophagus, and cause
an irritation in your esophagus, making a burning sensation in the area of
your chest just below the breastbone. That's why people call it heartburn.
Asthma patients get gastric reflux more often than people with no asthma. |
When you get gastric reflux, acid
that come from your digestion system will irritate one of your nerve
systems, called vagus nerve. The irritation will cause narrower of your
airways, which will trigger asthma symptoms.
