Reflux The Night Time Pain

Associated with your typical GERD symptoms, due to the diagnosis of LPR can be harder to find. In fact less than 15% of those affected have the heartburn. A laryngoscopy has to be diagnose and evaluate the condition. And only your health care or your specialist can provide you with this test.

So if your experiencing any of the aforementioned problems, please consult your doctor as quick as possible.
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and pH testing are just a couple of the test you can have done. If your complaining about odynophagia or dysphagia.

To find out if the reflux is reaching your upper esophagus and to assess the pH content of the reflux, two senors are placed on each end of the esophagus. That's why its so important to set out the time and make lifestyle changes for your good health. To reduce the acid in the stomach, prescription medications like antacids are a beneficial medical treatment.
