Acid Reflux Symptoms, Acid Reflux and Breathing Issues Causing Bad Breath

Changes in how we eat and live have had an impact on our waistlines as well as our susceptibility to heartburn. Heartburn and respiratory difficulties are now connected, according to new studies.

This post is dedicated to answering the numerous questions that individuals have about acid reflux breathing issues. You've come to the correct place if you've ever wondered if indigestion can cause shortness of breath, if acid reflux and asthma are linked, or if heartburn is the source of your bad breath.

Continue reading to the bottom to learn the seven most significant facts concerning breathing and excessive stomach acid, as well as how to improve your heartburn, breathing, and sleep quality by changing your lifestyle many business listing.

1. In a nutshell, acid reflux

Most people will get the unpleasant sensation of esophageal burning at some point in their lives. The rush of digestive secretions might take your breath away in some situations. Acid reflux is a highly uncomfortable, yet all-too-common problem.

Many people still believe that too much stomach acid causes heartburn. This, too, is a misconception, similar to the flat earth belief. Heartburn occurs when your stomach's acidic digestive juices re-enter the esophagus (where they shouldn't be).

The esophagus, commonly known as the gullet, is a tube that connects the mouth to the stomach and is separated from it by a valve called the *lower esophageal sphincter. Stomach acid might be forced upwards and harm the delicate lining of your esophagus if the valve doesn't close properly or opens too frequently business listings.

If this happens more than once a week, it could be an indication of Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD or GORD), a disorder in which the esophagus becomes inflamed as a result of stomach acid injury. GERD can cause the following symptoms:

Regurgitation

Heartburn

Chest pain

Vomiting

Sore Throat

Coughing

Wheezing

Bad Breath

2. Bad breath due to acid reflux

Chronic heartburn causes GERD foul breath, which is an unpleasant symptom. Stomach acid can destroy hard tissues and tooth enamel if it gets into the mouth. This generates holes in which bacteria can grow and multiply by trapping food.

Your dentist can usually detect whether foul breath is caused by acid reflux or by poor dental hygiene and smoking, both of which induce oral micro biome symbiosis. Teeth erosion, redness around the tonsils, tongue and gum inflammation, and bad breath are common symptoms of GERD free listing.

3. GERD, acid reflux, and breathing difficulties

Is GERD a cause of shortness of breath? Yes, GERD is connected to a variety of respiratory symptoms, including wheezing, chronic coughing, and shortness of breath. According to one study, 30–80% of persons with asthma also had GERD.

Despite the fact that studies demonstrate that GERD and lung problems frequently occur together, the relationship between the two is still unknown. For example, GERD breathing problems are linked to a variety of respiratory illnesses.

Pulmonary disorders linked to GERD

Bronchial asthma

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Pulmonary aspiration complications

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Bronchitis

Pneumonia

Includes lung abscess, bron Nchiectasis, aspiration pneumonitis

4. Is it possible for acid reflux to produce shortness of breath?

Shortness of breath (dyspnea) due to acid reflux is common at night. Acid rises in the back of the throat, where it can enter the lungs and cause swelling of the airways. Symptoms of acid reflux in the lungs, such as coughing and choking, are caused by this.

Asthma and respiratory symptoms are more common in young individuals with nighttime reflux breathing issues (especially coughing). Researchers have also discovered a link between GERD and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a disorder in which breathing is disrupted while sleeping, affecting oxygen levels in the body.

5. Shortness of breath due to GERD

Stomach acid has been shown in studies to irritate the windpipe, affecting breathing. However, esophageal acidity can produce GERD wheeze by triggering the vague nerve, which signals the lungs to tighten (bron choc on striction).

6. Asthma, GERD, and shortness of breath

Asthmatic patients frequently experience heartburn, shortness of breath, regurgitation, and dysphasia (when the esophagus contracts and makes it difficult to swallow). This could be due to the pressure created by coughing and wheezing, which can be strong enough to drive stomach acid up the esophagus.

The association between GERD and asthma is now undeniable, regardless of the reason. As a result, clinicians are now looking for GERD in asthmatic patients, particularly if:

They were diagnosed with asthma as adults.

After eating, exercising, or resting down right after a meal, episodes occur.

Despite treatment, their condition continues to deteriorate.

7. How might acid reflux cause shortness of breath?

Because acid reflux can create breathing problems, addressing the problem at its source – acid reflux — is beneficial. Heartburn is intimately linked to lifestyle choices, physical fitness, and diet, which means that simple modifications can help prevent regurgitation, acid breath, heartburn, chest discomfort, and GERD dyspnea.

Risk factors for GERD

Excessive eating or eating at wrong times

Smoking, alcohol, and chocolate

Too much acidic and fatty food slouching, poor posture, tight clothes

Obesity

Stress

Lifting heavy weights

Certain medical conditions and medications

Acid reflux is a serious condition that should not be disregarded. Digestive juices are corrosive to the esophageal lining, causing cellular changes that increase your risk of Barrett's esophagus, which is linked to an elevated risk of esophageal cancer.

Fortunately, there's a lot you can do right now to lessen heartburn symptoms. These steps will benefit both you and your gut micro biome’s general health:

Quit smoking and limit stress

Work towards and maintain a healthy BMI

Choose small meals and avoid overeating

Find out what foods trigger your acid reflux

Avoid fatty foods and fill up on fibre instead

Cut down on alcohol and caffeinated drinks

Avoid wearing tight pants and belts

Stop eating 2–3 hours before going to sleep

Sleep with your upper body elevated

When should I make an appointment to see a doctor?

It's time to see a doctor if you have acid reflux more than twice a week or if your symptoms are severe. Similarly, you should see a doctor if drugs and lifestyle changes haven't provided long-term relief. Always inform your doctor about any medications you're taking, as some can exacerbate GERD symptoms.

Because breathing issues and acid reflux can be signs of a variety of conditions, your doctor may do a few tests to rule out the possibility of a serious illness. Ulcers, esophageal constriction, pH levels, and tissue anomalies are among the things they may need to look for.

As a result, your doctor may propose an endoscopy (a procedure in which a small tube with a tiny camera is placed into your esophagus and samples are taken) to determine the cause and determine the best treatment option for you.

To manage your problem, your doctor may recommend that you start with lifestyle modifications, such as stopping smoking and avoiding fatty meals, in addition to anti-reflux medication. Surgery may be required in some circumstances, such as hiatal hernia.

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

-----

Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.

Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.

Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.

Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.

Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)

Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.

Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.

The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. Check back for more. I also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.

Edit 7: Complete reformatting

Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.

Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".

Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.

Edit 11: more documentaries and films

Edit 12: reformatted reading list

Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

helpful sites for writers

i have a little collection of websites i tend to use for coming up with ideas, naming people or places, keeping clear visuals or logistics, writing basics about places i've never been to, and so on. i tend to do a lot of research, but sometimes you just need quick references, right? so i thought i'd share some of them!

Behind the Name; good for name meanings but also just random name ideas, regardless of meanings.

Fantasy Name Generator; this link goes to the town name generator, which i use most, but there are lots of silly/fun/good inspo generators on there!

Age Calculator; for remembering how old characters are in Y month in Z year. i use this constantly.

Height Comparison; i love this for the height visuals; does character A come up to character B's shoulder? are they a head taller? what does that look like, height-wise? the chart feature is great!

Child Development Guide; what can a (neurotypical, average) 5-year-old do at that age? this is a super handy quickguide for that, with the obviously huge caveat that children develop at different paces and this is not comprehensive or accurate for every child ever. i like it as a starting point, though!

Weather Spark; good for average temperatures and weather checking!

Green's Dictionary of Slang; good for looking up "would x say this?" or "what does this phrase mean in this context?" i love the timeline because it shows when the phrase was historically in use. this is english only, though; i dig a little harder for resources like this in other languages.

6 Reasons to Avoid Using Apple Pay

You won't need to bring your payment cards or cash with you if you use Apple Pay. Many business listings everything is conveniently bundled in a single app, ready for you to tap and pay while on the road. Should you join the millions of individuals who already use it?

Whether you're a customer or a business owner, we believe you should think about that question carefully. Apple Pay offers a lot of advantages, but it also has a lot of disadvantages. Here are several reasons why you should avoid using Apple Pay.

Consumer Disadvantages of Apple Pay

If you only use Apple Pay, you may be vulnerable to the following security risks as a consumer.

1 - Cyber attack Vulnerability

Apple Pay is a safe and secure system that is resistant to hackers, making it a great mobile payment alternative Jail breaking your iPhone, on the other hand, bypasses the software limitations that also act as security business listings.

If you have a jail broken iPhone, use Apple Pay with caution. Hackers may be able to circumvent your transaction limits and replicate prior contactless transactions.

2 - Public Wi-Fi Connections Put Your Security at Risk

You don't need internet access to utilize Apple Pay because it employs NFC chips to conduct contactless payments. This is amazing since it is completely unrestricted.

IPhone, on the other hand, are programmed to look for accessible Wi-Fi connections by default. Hackers and criminals frequently target public networks in order to bypass insecure financial transactions, such as unlawful contactless payments free listing.

You might use Apple Pay on your iPhone without realizing it's already linked to a public network. After all, contactless purchases are rather fast. Before paying, few individuals care to verify their phone's signal and connection condition.

Fortunately, you can easily fix this problem by disabling the auto-join option. Toggle the auto-join toggle in Settings > Wi-Fi.

3 - Possibility of Circumventing Contactless Limits without Authorization

When the iPhone's Express Transit mode is active, according to research from the University of Birmingham, Apple Pay is vulnerable to payment fraud on Visa cards.

In other words, hackers may be able to circumvent the contactless payment limitations for tiny transactions. Take, for example, the purchase of a train ticket with Apple Pay. Hackers can override the transaction and reproduce it numerous times without your awareness because it just requires rudimentary authentication.

Fortunately, these problems are rather minor. You won't be a victim of this scam if you monitor your transactions and payments on a frequent basis.

4 - Apple Collects a Lot of Personal Information

Apple Pay necessitates the disclosure of a variety of personal details. Apart from typical information like as your name and address, the corporation will have access to your transaction history, which might be extensive if you use it regularly.

Despite the fact that Apple does not sell customer data, it does use it for marketing purposes (i.e., targeted ads, suggested posts). If you're concerned about Apple's privacy policies, you might want to think again about using Apple Pay.

5 - Irritability and Confusion among New Users

According to Finder, 150 million Americans use mobile wallets to pay for their purchases; however, Apple Pay is only used by around half of this group.

As a result, you can't expect all of your consumers to utilize Apple Pay or another digital wallet. You must be willing to accept different payment options.

If you come into consumers that are utilizing Apple Pay for the first time, you may run into some complications. If consumers require assistance with their purchases, you'll likely spend extra time checking them out, undermining the objective of Apple Pay: quick, smooth transactions.

6. Transactions That Fail Due to a Card Conflict

The risk of "card conflict" is considerable with fast-moving contactless payment devices. This problem occurs when two or more payment solutions—often recently announced contactless technologies—interfere with each other's transactions.

While this isn't a problem specific to Apple Pay, it is made more vulnerable if a consumer, for example, keeps their contactless card on their phone. This might result in payments being duplicated, obtained from the wrong source, or not processed, all of which adds to your business's administrative burden.

i understand the struggle of "i can't draw how do i visualize this OC" and its like, okay, picrews and dollmakers have limited options (and are often limited by the artist's imagination). Heroforge perhaps not your style. You're broke as hell, so commissioning someone or finding someone who can do it on the cheap is hard. Certainly it's hard to find someone to just Do It For Free and that's a huge imposition. And learning to draw is [come back in ten to fifteen years lol]

What is also an option that I think has fallen out of fashion as programs have gotten more advanced but is still legitimate, though:

Kitbashing and editing sprites.

"but i can't draw" you don't need to. Get your hands on those game assets and edit them with your 1-px pencil or paintbuckets or whatever. Recolour them. Smash them together like dolls. You can do it in MS Paint or the program of your choice. If you want something more focused on pixel art (and still free) there's graphicsgale. Embrace the dots.
