Do you Have Nighttime GERD

- This health video focus' on those people who suffer from nighttime heartburn, is it really a symptom of GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease).

Suffering from GERD? Here are some tips on how to treat it.

Because GERD is more serious than just basic heartburn, your doctor may prescribe a type of medication called Proton Pump Inhibitors or PPI’s. Acid is released in the stomach via a device known as a proton pump. PPI’s block the pump from releasing acid which prevent acid leak and the consequent heartburn. While PPI’s can reduce acid secretion by more than 95%, a downside is their expensive price tag.

A slightly weaker yet more affordable medication choice is Histamine-2 blockers. These drugs are available both with the prescription and in a weaker form, over-the-counter. H2 blockers work by countering the effect of histamine which stimulates acid production. The result is the drop in the amount of acid that the stomach produces. H2 blockers are often most effective for people troubled by nighttime heartburn.
