I suffer from acid reflux and its treatment take zantac maximum force of 150 mg. I want to know how long to take Zantac and if the healing time of my acid reflux Acid reflux also my voice sounds very boring and I find it hard for people to understand me when I speak with my voice always return to normal or acid damage already done I was hit by acid reflux since I was 18 years and now I am 27.

Here’s a couple of things that I’ve learned when I was diagnosed with GERD (Acid Reflux), and while I was undergoing treatment.

1. Don’t Deny Reality. – you might be struggling with the fact that there are some things right now that you could not do because of your health challenge. These are handicaps in your life that you need to accept. You will be having an irritable stomach or a reflux attack if you do not take regular and consistent medication. You will not be able to eat as much of your favorite foods, especially in social and family gatherings. You won’t be actively doing physical workouts as before. If you are taking traditional medicines, be advised that you will be visiting your doctor on a more regular basis than usual.

True is that short saying that “reality bites”. But putting it all in proper perspective, reality would bite much deeper if you deny it, and keep on living and abusing your body, without taking thought of the consequences. I have devoted a separate article on the importance of establishing a rhythm to treat GERD or Acid Reflux and to prevent it from worsening. Face reality, come to grips with it, then take it from there.

2. Don’t Panic. – and this is a hard one. As I look back at my personal experiences, there have been a number of times that I could not identify what I was feeling (because of the varying sensations of pain running through my stomach, esophagus, and head), to the point that I would often lose touch of reality. Like me, this might often lead you to a trip to the emergency room, but take note – irregardless of the degrees of pain that you feel, most often, the doctors would give you the same type of medication to combat it. And the same hospital bil to go along with it.

It is interesting to note that people often panic when they do not know what is going on. It is a common response to fear. Therefore, the best antidote to panic is to research and get all the information you can about GERD or Acid Reflux, and equip yourself with the knowledge on what’s going on with your body – so you can respond, and not react, when the need arises.

3. Don’t Follow Your Doctor’s Advice “All The Way”. – this is hard to do. Especially if you have been trapped in that mindset that “the doctor is always right”. But hear me first. If what you’re taking for your acid reflux is working, then leave it at that. If however, the opposite is true, then it would help if you “leave some error” to your doctor’s advice and look for other options that are available that could possibly relieve or naturally cure your GERD. Once you find the one that works best – stick to it and establish a rhythm of treatment.
