To what disorders can lead the untreated Acid Reflux ?
Acid reflux, as many other diseases, if is not cured in time leads like a chain reaction to other disorders. For instance many health practitioners link asthma to chronic acid reflux. Some doctors start to cure asthma in order to get to acid reflux treatment. Other physicians recommend acid reflux treatment in order to remove the both disorders.
Sleep apnea is also linked to chronic acid refluxes. The frequent occurence of acid reflux means frequent high concentration gastric acid in your mouth which is known as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux. This erodes the muscle responsible for maintaning the tongue in the right position when you sleep so that your body receives the necessary ammount of oxygen. These being said it is obvious that acid reflux disease is directly linked to snoring while sleeping and also to obstructive sleep apnea.
Laryngopharyngeal reflux, or LPR, is the backflow of stomach acidic contents up the esophagus. The difference between GERD and LPR is that GERD includes backflow only into the esophagus.
Gastric acid reflux leads to laryngopharaingeal acid reflux which leads to the following symptoms : cough, vocal fatigue and altered voice. More serious consequences of chronic acid reflux are Barret's Esophagus, hiatal hernia, tightening of the larynx, laryngospasm and glottic carcinoma.
Untreated acid reflux has been statistically reported to lead to gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
Frequent acid refluxes also cause frequent constipations, which is one of the causes of chronic head aches and chronic fatigue.
