Is There A Link Between Acid Reflux And Depression?

By Christian Goodman

Amazing results was acheived through my Acid Reflux Program!

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.

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

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.

Some sufferers experience chronic acid reflux disease but do not suffer from heartburn. They report pain in the chest, hoarse throat, dry cough, bad breath and difficulty swallowing.

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

people with chronic GERD have thirty percent extra chance of developing depression when only ten percentage of people suffering otherwise.

It seems that each condition feeds the other. Because of fear of symptoms of acid reflux, people tend not to go out to eat, or socialize as much with friends which can lead to a "shut in" feeling.

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.

Some times not so healthy lifestyles might lead to depression, which is just increased by GERD. Over drinking is an example. This is actually depressive and can bring acid reflux too.

All the natural acid reflux relief programs comes with proven results and zero percent side effects. Even if you do not experience depression from your acid reflux condition I would recommend you to try the natural acid reflux programs.
