It is wrong to think this way, but in fact these symptoms are related to GERD. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is closely related to our life, if we can correct the bad habits, even without medication will greatly reduce the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease. The following points can be shared with you: 1, stress – the survey found that the incidence of GERD in high-pressure work, life environment greatly increased, and most people choose to endure or take their own medication. Experts believe this is the result of a lack of understanding of the disease. The reason for the high incidence of this group is because of their long-term high-pressure state, diet, life and its irregularity, so that the stomach is in a long-term state of “abuse”, increasing the risk of stomach discomfort, thus aggravating the disease.

Smoking is also a habit that is extremely detrimental to the stomach, tobacco nicotine can act with the vagus nervous system, disrupting normal gastrointestinal motility, causing vasoconstriction of the gastric mucosa, is a decrease in prostaglandins in the gastric mucosa, so that the gastric mucosa suffers damage. 【Tips】 Try to quit smoking and alcohol in life; especially do not smoke within two hours before sleep.
