Is There A Link Between Acid Reflux And Depression?

By Christian Goodman

My new Acid Reflux program has given me amazing results!

I have also got first hand report from you guy's that my acid reflux program has really helped. This is Apart from having good response to the program.

With any chronic condition such as acid reflux can be, one tends to notice themes when reading through client correspondence. One in particular is the accompanying depression symptoms that accompany chronic acid reflux.

In this the liquid or food omes up from the stomach and enters into esophagus and this creates pain and heartburn. Acid Reflux is also known as Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Closing and opening of the esophagus is done by lower esophageal sphincter (LED). Actually these muscles act as a valve. These muscles stops liquids or food from entering into the esophagus when working properly.

Chest pain, bad throat, dry cough, bad breath and difficulty swallowing are reported by them. Some people experience long term acid reflux disease but they don't experience heartburn.

People who suffer at least two per week are considered that they suffer from chronic acid reflux. It does not only bring pain, in long term it can lead to erosion of tooth enamel, cancer, throat damage and respiratory damage.

As with other chronic conditions, chronic GERD sufferers experience over a thirty percent chance of developing symptoms of depression, compared to roughly ten percent of otherwise healthy people.

It is like one leads to another. Fearing acid reflux people do not eat much and they are afraid of going out with friends and this brings in depression.

Moreover, people do not to many things they would otherwise love to do. They just spend most of their time thinking about different ways to manage the problem.

As ironic as it seems, some people's unhealthy lifestyles can lead to depression on their own or be exacerbated by GERD. Take alcohol consumption for example. This is a depressive drug to begin with and can trigger acid reflux.

Whether or not you suffer from depression in addition to your acid reflux disease, I highly encourage you to try the all natural Acid Reflux Relief program. There is no potentially dangerous medication involved and the results are guaranteed!
