Acid Reflux has been named the "great mimic", because it can copy other disorders. If your suffering from this problem you might get major pains in your chest that may make you feel as if your having a heart attack. You might believe the stomach will produce more acid, because the acid can regurgitate in the stomach after you eat, or our stomach may ache so badly you may think your having an ulcer. This is only one of the symptoms that can happen from this condition.
We suggest that you visit your doctor,and make sure your not suffering from anything damaging to your stomach So, what exactly is a hiatal hernia? Once you swallow, the food travels pass a long vessel called the esophagus, which leads into the stomach. This vessel must run by a muscle called the diaphragm, which is right at the bottom of your rib cage. The passage in the diaphragm, which allows the esophagus to run through, is placed in order by a sphincter muscle, which is less tense and opens, once you swallow, to allow the food to go through the diaphragm and the stomach. This sphincter or valve shuts to avoid stomach acid from coming pouring up into the esophagus.
Ordinarily, when the stomach is involuntary up into the diaphragm the sphincter muscle will not close correctly. Therefore the belly acid will stream up into the esophagus resulting in burning pains meaning (heartburn),ulcers, inflammations and esophageal spasms (called Acid Reflux).
Your digestive tract has many one way valves to keep food goods traveling in the right direction: the valve of esophageal, which lies in the esophagus, and the sphincter muscle valve that lies in the middle of the stomach and the esophagus. Pyloric valve in the middle of the small intestine and the stomach, the ileocecal valve towards the center of the small and the large intestine, and the Houston valve in the plunged colon.
If one or more of the valves have any problems, gas pressure from the intestines might make food particles pour back up, bringing stomach acid though the esophagus. The tubes normally do not work normally if the diaphragm muscle stays strong and in tack. When the diaphragm muscle gets weak, several of these tubes can function imperfectly leading to acid reflux or indigestion.
When you can find out what brings forth a mock heart attack (hiatal hernia) and acid reflux are perfectly identified, the desired treatment becomes noticeable. The 2 conditions should be made right by diaphragmatic breathing drills that help build the diaphragm muscle and move the stomach down and away from the diaphragm.
Technique When Using The Diaphragm
1. Put your hand on your stomach, once you take in a breath the stomach will push out. 2. Then when you let go of your breath the stomach will go in.
It might be extremely difficult to start at the beginning. when you practice, you can lay on your back and place a book on the stomach. It involves regular practice of diaphragmatic breathing, and a continuing knowing of the way you are breathing.
