   If you think you have Acid Reflux please see DR . as this is a danger’s situation ,
   Under normal conditions, when you eat and drink, the muscle at the bottom of your esophagus closes off so food and liquids will remain in your stomach. This muscle is the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
   However, GERD occurs chiefly because of the following three reasons: The esophagus’s normal defenses are overwhelmed by the acid content of the stomach, the contents of the stomach are too acidic, or the food is not cleared from the esophagus fast enough.
   When “refluxed” stomach acid touches the lining of the esophagus, it causes a burning sensation in the chest or throat called heartburn. The fluid may even reach the back of the mouth, and this is called acid indigestion. Occasional heartburn is common but does not necessarily mean one has GERD. Heartburn that occurs more than twice a week may be considered GERD, and it can eventually lead to more serious health problems.
   Other symptoms can include:
   Pain in the chest
   Hoarseness in the morning
   Trouble swallowing
   May feel like food is stuck in the throat
   Choking sensation
   Persistent dry cough
   Bad breath
   If you have been diagnosed with acid reflux disease (GERD), you’ll want to learn how to control the symptoms. The acid reflux disease will still be there, but you can alleviate and in many cases, prevent the symptoms.
   The following tips can help you live with your acid reflux disease.
   Eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big meals.
   This keeps your stomach from getting too full. This will also reduce gastric pressure. Another tip is to eat slowly.
   Don’t eat or drink anything for at least 2 hours before going to bed.
   If you take naps, try sleeping in a chair. Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the lower sphincter muscle, increasing the chances of refluxed food.
   Avoid foods that are known to trigger your heartburn.
   There are several foods and beverages that can trigger your heartburn, either by increasing acid production and gastric pressure or by loosening the lower sphincter muscle.
