Heartburn and GERD Treatment in Hadayek El Qobba with Dr. Salah Afifi

Heartburn and GERD in Hadayek El Qobba are among the most common digestive problems that affect many people. Many patients experience burning sensations in the chest, acid reflux from the stomach into the esophagus, and discomfort after eating.

Dr. Salah Afifi in Hadayek El Qobba provides diagnosis and treatment services for GERD and heartburn using modern medical methods, focusing on identifying the main cause of the problem and creating a suitable treatment plan for each patient.

GERD treatment is not limited to medications only. It depends on accurate diagnosis, lifestyle and dietary changes, and continuous follow-up to prevent complications.

What Is GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)? GERD treatment in Hadayek El Qobba

GERD is a condition that occurs when stomach contents and acids flow back into the esophagus due to weakness or relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter, which normally prevents acid from returning upward.

Occasional reflux may happen from time to time, but when it becomes frequent and persistent, it is known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Continuous reflux can irritate the esophageal lining and cause uncomfortable symptoms that require medical evaluation.

Causes of GERD and Heartburn - Dr. Salah Afifi

There are several factors and causes that may increase the risk of GERD, including:

1- Weakness of the Lower Esophageal Sphincter

This muscle works as a valve that prevents stomach contents and acids from returning to the esophagus. When it becomes weak, acid reflux may occur.

2- Eating Foods That Increase Acidity

Some foods and drinks may worsen GERD symptoms, such as:

  • Fatty and fried foods
  • Spicy foods
  • Carbonated drinks
  • Excessive coffee consumption
  • Chocolate
  • Acidic foods

3- Overweight and Obesity

Excess abdominal fat can put pressure on the stomach, increasing the possibility of acid reflux into the esophagus.

4- Eating Before Sleeping

Lying down shortly after eating can make it easier for stomach acids to move back into the esophagus, causing heartburn symptoms.

5- Smoking

Smoking affects the function of the lower esophageal sphincter and may increase GERD symptoms.

6- Certain Medical Conditions

Conditions such as hiatal hernia and some digestive disorders may increase the chances of developing GERD.

Symptoms of GERD

GERD symptoms vary from one person to another, but the most common symptoms include:

🔥 Heartburn:

A burning sensation behind the breastbone that may extend to the throat.

🤢 Regurgitation of Food or Acidic Fluids:

Feeling that food or sour liquid is coming back into the mouth.

😣 Chest Discomfort or Pain:

It may become worse after eating or while lying down.

😴 Symptoms That Increase at Night:

Many patients experience increased heartburn when lying down or during sleep.

🗣️ Other Symptoms Include:

  • Chronic cough
  • Hoarseness of voice
  • Difficulty or pain while swallowing
  • Feeling of something stuck in the throat
  • Bloating and indigestion

When these symptoms occur frequently, it is recommended to consult a specialist to determine the cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
