Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive disease that happens when stomach acid, or even bile back flows (refluxes) into the food pipe, which is called the esophagus. The flow back of acid irritates the lining of the esophagus and results in signs and symptoms of GERD (Mayo Clinic, 2014). Signs and Symptoms of GERD includes: Signs and symptoms of GERD includes but not limited to, heartburn- A burning sensation in your chest which often sometimes
Have you ever question how to get rid of acid reflux naturally? There are numerous natural remedies available to cure this disease rather than through the use of drugs. The best thing about treating it naturally is that it will not leave you with any side effects as compared to the drugs given by doctors. However, it is wise to visit a doctor when natural remedies fail to get rid of your acid reflux. What are the symptoms of the disease? The most widespread symptom is heartburn which may extend to
Acid Reflux affects the digestive system. There is valve at the entrance of your stomach, which is a ring of muscle called the LES (Lower esophageal sphincter). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. If the LES doesn’t close all the way or opens often, acid produced by your stomach can move up into your esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as burning chest pain called heartburn. If this happens more than twice a week, you have acid reflux disease, also known as gastroesophageal
Erika Joyce Domagas BIO 2060 LD07 Professor Klein November 20, 2016 PBL Extra Credit: Doc, Is It My Heart? 1. I diagnose Robert with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on his history and examination. GERD is commonly associated with acid reflux, but they are not the same thing. Acid reflux is an action that occurs in the disease. GERD is a condition when contents in the stomach travel back into the esophagus and create heartburn, a burning feeling in the chest and even throat (“What Is
GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease. This happens when acid from your stomach backs up into your esophagus. The acid backs up when the muscle around the bottom of the lower esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) either becomes weak or does not close normally and the acid leaks out. As the acid backwashes into the esophagus the lining in the lower esophagus can become irritated an start to become narrow (esophageal stricture) as well as sores can form which causes bleeding (esophageal
acetate is produced, it will become important to analyze its structure and purity. This experiment involves performing various techniques, including heating under reflux, separation, drying, distillation, gas chromatography (GC), infrared spectroscopy (IR spectroscopy), and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Heating under reflux is important to overcome any activation barrier of energy that may be present in order to complete the reaction.
What is GERD? The term GERD stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease, which occurs when your stomach contents come back up into your esophagus (NIDDK). The gastroesophageal refers to the stomach and esophagus while reflux refers to the back flow of acidic or nonacidic contents in the stomach. One symptom of GERD that is commonly known is heartburn, which is when you have a sense of burning in your chest after eating and lasts from either several minutes or hours.

tightly closed and this allows the acid to escape and irritate the oesophagus. This is called 'acid reflux' and can cause heartburn and/or oesophagitis. Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole stop cells in the lining of the stomach from producing too much acid. This can help prevent ulcers from forming or assist the healing process. By decreasing the amount of acid, they can also help to reduce acid reflux related symptoms such as heartburn. Omeprazole belongs to the family of medications called proton
The Oesophagus The oesophagus (gullet) is the tube through which food and drink pass from the back of the throat to the stomach. It lies in the back of the chest just in front of the spine. The outer muscular layers of the oesophagus move fluid or food towards the stomach. At the lower end there is a muscular valve which prevents stomach acid from entering the gullet from below. The cancer arises
can both be cured by a drug called antacids. Antacids can be used for people who are suffering heartburn or discomfort in the stomach. Antacids help correct the pH balance in your stomach by neutralizing the acid in the stomach. “Tummy” aches, acid reflux, and heartburn occasionally be relieved by antacids. ("How antacids work," ) Antacids reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. They can help relieve heartburn. There are many different types of nonprescription acid reducers in stores.

burning sensation in his chest, increased salivation, and difficulty in swallowing. He is having difficulty breathing and feels the presence of a "lump in his throat." The diagnosis is gastroesophageal reflux disease. Explain. •Jose symptoms is derived from a disorder called Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurring in the digestive system with the consumption of food, irritating the esophagus generally causing notable clinical symptoms such as the following: vomiting, chronic cough, angina
development of hiatus hernia. It occurs when the stomach bulges into the diaphragm. Symptoms of Heartburn Heartburn can be another kind of digestive disorder and can be a symptom itself of a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is an acid reflux, a medical condition that causes heartburn. By knowing the symptoms it can actually help you to get earlier treatments. • A burning sensation in the chest that develops behind the breastbone or more commonly known as sternum. It
has slowly developed glaucoma. Patient is fond of spicy and fried food which has initiated some health issues. Due to daily heartburn from spicy food, the mucus lining of esophagus has been exposed to stomach acids which has led to Gastroesophageal reflux disease. The high fat and fried has caused the patient to have high blood lipids. The unhealthy life style of patient has steered him in the direction of hypertension due to lack of physical activity. For type II Diabetes, patient takes metformin
which pushes more acid into the esophagus. This is especially true in the later stages of pregnancy. Heartburn usually goes away or gets better after giving birth. CAUSES Heartburn is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus (reflux). Reflux
Patient Case Care Study Today’s nursing environment is in a constant state of change as Canada’s healthcare environments continue to become increasingly complex (Brunt, 2005). This increased complexity can be attributed in part to new technology becoming increasingly integrated into healthcare, the growing Canadian older adult population, and the financial limitations currently being experienced by healthcare system (Brunt, 2005). In order for nurses to continue to provide quality care to Canada’s
Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) is the portal through which nutritive substances; vitamins, minerals and fluids enter the body. The digestive tract is more than 10 metres long from one end to the other. It is continuous starting from the mouth, passing through the pharynx and the oesophagus, to the stomach, the small and large intestines, ending in the rectum, and finally into the anus. The GI tract is divided into two main sections: the upper GI tract and the lower GI tract. Upper GIT includes the
6. Lansoprazole medications are drug for proton pump inhibitor. By inhibiting the amount of proton pump, it will decrease the amount of acid produced in the stomach and will increase in pH. Lansoprazole is also to treat and prevent stomach and intestinal ulcers, esophagitis, which is damaged esophagus due to stomach acid and other conditions that involve in excessive stomach acid. Lansoprazole, however, is not treatment for immediate heartburn. Taking lansoprazole can also increase in risk of bone
