I guess I should have seen this coming\u2026I\u2019ve previously had minor cases of heartburn after eating raw garlic and a couple times after overeating\u2026but the last few nights, I\u2019ve been waking up at 3-4am with a pain in my chest. Of course, self-diagnosing always makes you paranoid and I first thought I was having congestive heart failure, hehe\u2026wasn\u2019t really laughing this morning at 3:30\u2026but the symptoms look like what many millions of Americans suffer from\u2026acid reflux.<\/p>\n

Acid Reflux: a condition in which acidic gastric fluid is regurgitated into the esophagus, causing heartburn.<\/p>\n

There are a good amount of signs that I have this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Every morning, I have to brush my tongue since there is a white film over it (food coming back up in your sleep)<\/li>\n
  2. Food triggers: caffeine, tomatoes, garlic, carbonated drinks (I bought a lot of sparkling water), chocolate, spicy food, cheese, red meat, fatty foods, etc<\/li>\n
  3. Wearing tight pants that restrict my stomach and causing discomfort<\/li>\n
  4. Sleeping on my back which makes the acid travel back up and has been giving me bad chest pains at night<\/li>\n
  5. Needing to sleep upright to let the pain subside\u2026think I\u2019ll need to adjust my bedding\u2026don\u2019t wanna keep sleeping on the couch<\/li>\n
  6. Regurgitation\/vomit\/bloating: this happens every so often after eating a lot and I feel the acid in my throat\u2026makes swallowing hurt<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Guess this is just one of the signs of getting older. I guess I\u2019ll be forced to change my diet. I\u2019ve already ordered some apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and antacid pills from Target. I ate oatmeal and a banana today and drank hot ginger water. Honestly, I am thankful. It is quite common and it isn\u2019t the worst thing to deal with (though I wish I could get a good night\u2019s sleep). I should probably eat healthier in the long run\u2026the hubby is secretly jumping for joy\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
