That full feeling you had afterwards led you to stretching out, relaxing on your couch, just in time for your favorite show. You have your feet up, and you've decided to partake in a glass of wine and a little chocolate. Following the chocolate is a bowl of peanuts that you snack away on.

Welcome to signs of Acid Reflux.

Many times after eating and living this way, the pleasant feeling is replaced by a nasty feeling in your chest. It can feel as if there is something acidic coming up from behind your breastbone. It often gets very unpleasant when the sour fluid comes back in your throat. You wish you could bring it up, but it sits in there, most uncomfortably.

And, due to the vagus nerve that often springs to action during an upset stomach, some even get dizzy spells with their Acid Reflux reaction.

You may also notice a feeling of food getting stuck in your throat when swallowing. This leads to the sensation of food feeling difficult to travel down the food pipe.

If you show symptoms of a sore throat, breathing difficulties , or even a constant urge to clear your throat, this is a sign that you are now a confirmed member of a community that suffers from Acid Reflux , also known in medical parlance as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).

Acid Reflux disease is not due to genetic disposition, race, nationality, or age. It typically is related to your quality of eating, your health and your nutrition. Young children can have this disease, as can teenagers, or an adult or senior. Children may exhibit Acid Reflux due to a physiological issue, but with most others, it is because of overindulgence, and by mistreating your digestive system.
