LIVING WITH GERD 

It’s been 3months now since I was diagnosed with gerd other term of acid reflux , I thought this disease is you can instantly get a relief, and can cure instantly.  the first day attacked me that was dec 1 2018, I didn’t sleep that day and we went to mall to buy some stuff. aside from feeling sleepy everything was I fine I feel really fine at that time. then at 3pm suddenly I felt a severe palpitation I thought that was just nothing but the palpitations is getting worst like I’m having palps for minutes and the palpitations is not normal and I feel funny then I suddenly my hands and feet feels cold and calmy and it’s sweaty and difficulty in breathing. I thought I was gonna die at that time. the pain is intense. everyone is looking at me and boyfriend rushed me to the hospital. it’s kinda hard for me cause my mother is not with me at that time because she’s in other country. but I still feel lucky cause my boyfriend is always there for me. when we went to the hospital They gave me alot of test like ECG,CBC and hemoglobin test. so they just told me to go home and take some rest because everything is normal. when we went home. I took some rest and a day after I thought I’m gonna be fine I don’t have any appetite to eat my stomach feels like there’s something scracthing it and my heart feels funny a feeling of palpitations and fluttering of the heart I feel like my heart beat is not normal and I’m having difficulties in breathing my hands and feet are cold again I feel dizzy so my mother called me and she told me to go to other hospital and get a doctor and admit so that we will know what’s the problem with my body so again my boyfriend rushed me to hospital. then suddenly I develop generalized Anxiety I can’t even sleep. so another cbc test and 2d echo. my cbc is normal, my 2d echo umm. my heart is healthy but I have abnormalities in my heart the doctor told me I have it since then. so I dont have anything to worry and that’s not a serious condition. so I feel relief but my doctor also diagnosed me with gerd or acid reflux that’s why I experience a palpitation. so I have alot of synthetic medicines and they are kinda expensive. after a week I go home I thought I’m gonna be fine after a few weeks. but it’s not. I have a lot of symptoms like blurry vision, nausea, vomiting acid, loss appetite, dizziness,palpitations, fatigue, weak bones, pain in the middle of the chest, pain in upper left back, pain in arm, nasal allergy, allergy in skin, dryness of the skin, bloated, getting full instantly, heaviness feeling in the chest, grawling and pain in the stomach, constipated, and loss weight and guess what I’m underweight now ☹️ so I need to eat a good diet.. I can only eat grilled or boiled chicken breast or fish. green leafy and some fruits with high ph level in short alkaline fruits. this disease is kinda hard because I develop generalized Anxiety as well. I can’t even go out I instantly feel panic attack.I’m so scared to go to sleep but at the same time I’m scared if I didn’t sleep. and it feels like you are dying 😭 it’s reaaly terrifying. but God is my strength even if I feel pain everyday even if I feel so tired with this disease I’m still fighting for it. they say this disease is gonna be forever. but I’m still gonna fight for it. and I know God is with me all the time. 

this disease causes:

Unhealthy life style 

for example laying after eating 

eating too much 

not eating in the right time 

stress 

eating the wrong food  

not having enough sleep 

smoking

drinking too much bevarages like soda,coffee, alcohol

other symptoms that you can experience: 

sore throat

feeling stuck in the throat 

difficulty swallowing

two reasons why you have acid reflux

too much acid or low acid. 

GERD/Acid reflux is kinda dangerous when you didn’t cure it and you can develop cancer you stomach and can get other complications in other organs like your esophagous and lungs. 

so please if you don’t have a disease like this or if you know someone who is acidic and still have unhealthy life style pls tell them about this kind of disease. because before I didn’t even know about this disease and when I was diagnosed with this I feel really depressed and the pain is real.  

that’s all. thank you for reading! ❤️❤️❤️
