When we eat, food passes from the mouth to the stomach, passing through the ‘esophagus.  Esophagus and stomach are separated by cardiac (a structure which functions as a muscular valve at the end esophagus and front door of the stomach), which opens to the passage of food to close immediately after.  It can happen, however, that this valve does not work as expected, doing back in esophagus acid food and equipment.
But if your stomach is done to resist the presence of the inside, not just the esophagus.  Here, then, the stagnation of creating wounds, inflammation and pain.  The reflux can be caused either by a physiological condition, and therefore normal that the pathological, and then due to an illness.  And its consequences depend on the frequency with which it manifests.
If reflux, that is, it is becoming increasingly frequent, then it is considered a real illness.  To ensure the symptoms becomes necessary to take drugs or, even though in rare cases, even resorting to surgery.  The main problems are linked to reflux, the hiatus hernia infection Helicobacter pylori (ulcers).  So far the signals typical, but there are other less common. How, for example, chest pain, a symptom rather frequent reflux.  It happens in 20-30% of cases.  It ‘a pain in the chest, which could also involve the neck and shoulders.  A pain that is often a source of great fear, because it can easily be mistaken for that caused by ‘attack.  Other symptoms rather frequent reflux is the so-called odinofagia, a pain that you feel when you swallow.
Reflux, it is often accompanied by breathing problems.  The main ones are the ‘asthma, bronchitis, chronic cough, the inflammation of the lungs applicants.  Finally, laryngitis, the hoarseness, the gingivitis, the halitosis and tooth decay.  Obviously, those suffering from gastro-esophageal reflux must follow precise rules of behavior.
There are several drugs indicated for the treatment of this disease.  Typically, they are prescribed drugs that are active l ‘alginate that when arriving in the stomach, comes into contact with gastric acids and form a gel that works as anti barrier.  Then there are antacids, which neutralize stomach acid products, reducing the acidity of the material that goes back esophagus.  These drugs are effective in 95% of cases.  In the remaining 5% it becomes necessary to resort to surgery, which reconstructs the valve between the esophagus and stomach.
