When your doctor is talking about GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), you will more commonly know it as acid reflux disease. This particular health problem is caused by the leaking of liquid formed in the stomach after food has been digested back up in to a person's esophagus.
Unfortunately should a person choose not to treat this problem it could lead to other health issues and complications for them. The main one of these being that the lining of the esophagus will become damaged and will then become inflamed.
The main reason for the lining becoming damaged is that the liquid, which has been regurgitated from the stomach, contains acid along with an enzyme known as pepsin. It is this enzyme that helps to break down the proteins in the food that you eat so your body is able to absorb them more easily and they therefore contain caustic properties. Although the pepsin's can cause damage it is commonly believed that the main culprit for the discomfort and pain felt with acid reflux is the acid contained in the liquid that has been regurgitated.
Although most people are likely to suffer from some form of acid reflux in their lives, for some the problem can be come extremely severe. If the condition does become chronic then the sufferer will learn how to deal and cope with it for the rest of their lives. They may find that they will need to use treatment continuously in order to keep control over the problem.
Some people find that the symptoms that are associated with this particular stomach condition are far more prevalent at night than they are during the day. The reason for this is that during the day when a person is stood up or sat down the regurgitated liquid can easily flow back down into their stomach. Plus when we are awake, we swallow regularly and this can further help to force the regurgitated liquid back down into the stomach.
The other reason why a person is less likely to suffer from acid reflux during the day is that they are producing saliva. In this liquid, there is bicarbonate and to remove the saliva from your mouth you swallow. The saliva is then sent down the esophagus towards the stomach and the bicarbonate in it helps to neutralize any small amounts of acid that are to be found in the esophagus.
But at night, the problem of acid reflux disease can be exacerbated, as gravity is no longer able to assist with helping to get the liquid that has been regurgitated back in to the stomach. Also, at night, you stop swallowing and the amount of saliva that your mouth produces is reduced also. So any liquid that has been regurgitated will be able to stay in the esophagus for much longer and so end up causing more damage to its lining.
As we have previously mentioned any one could actually find themselves suffering from acid reflux disease. However, there are some people who are much more susceptible to suffering from this particular stomach complaint than others. For example, some pregnant women because of hormonal changes in their bodies find themselves suffering from this condition. Also, those people who are overweight or obese are also highly susceptible to suffer from this kind of stomach complaint.
