I have had acid reflux for over 10 years. I take Nexium twice a day, (Rx drug). Here is some advice I'll give for helping to reduce the number and severity of the attacks, (they work well for me if I use them, but they ARE NOT a cure!)
1. Do NOT eat within a few hours of going to bed.
2. Avoid spicy foods, tomato sauces, caffeine, and ESPECIALLY chocolate after eating dinner.
3.Sleep on your LEFT side, so that if the acid gets to the top of your esophagus, it will not go into your lungs. When this happens, it usually puts the acid into your right lung and, if the quantity is great enough, you can develop pneumonia.
4. Raise the head of your bed by several inches. You can buy those rubbery type "feet" to put on the foot/legs of the bed under the head.
5. If you are feeling the slightest bit quesy in your stomach before going to bed, swallow a mouthful of a liquid antacid that you can tolerate.
6. This last piece of advice comes from something I discovered on my own and never heard anyone recommend it before, until recently I read a study which said that my advice was proven effective. I wish I'd told someone years ago! I'll bet I could have made a LOT of money! If at any time you feel as if an acid reflux attack is coming on, or you have just experienced one, get several pieces of chewing gum and chew like crazy until you begin to feel better! The only reason that I can think of for its working, is that it helps clear your esophagus of gas bubbles, reducing the pressure that builds up, and it may also send a message to your stomach to start its digestive duties as well.
I didn't mean to be so long winded, but I know what it's like to live with this condition and it "ain't NO FUN!" You might also consult with a gastroenterologist about a procedure being tried now where a skin flap at the base of your esophagus is created to help strengthen the one you already have to keep it from allowing the acid to back up into your throat.All of the treatment is usually done on the inside of your body, so there is a much faster recuperation time and no surgical scar to be seen.
Good Luck!
Hi!
If the burning sensation is on the surface of the skin, you should see a dermatologist. Maybe the pain is coming from soap, creams or moisturizer that you use and some analysis performed by a specialist could discover exactly what it is.
The dermatologist could also say if you are allergic to one of your usually cosmetics.
I hope this will help you!
Have a nice day!
