If you suffer from frequent heartburn, there's a good chance that you might be suffering from chronic heartburn.

That's right chronic heartburn, and it's not a condition that can be cured easily with the use of over-the-counter drugs like antacids. ±×°Ô ¹Ù·Î ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿, ±×¸®°í ±×°ÍÀ» ½±°Ô ³ªÀ» ¼öÀÖ´Â »óŰ¡ ¾Æ´Ñ ÀÌ»ó -¸¦ »ç¿ëÇÏ¿© - Ä«¿îÅÍ ¸¶¾à °°Àº Á¦»êÁ¦ÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
For chronic heartburn sufferers, there are a few simple ways to improve your lifestyle to alleviate the pain. ¿¡ ´ëÇÑ ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿ ȯÀÚ, °Å±â°¡ ´ç½ÅÀÇ ¶óÀÌÇÁ ½ºÅ¸ÀÏÀ» °³¼±ÇÏ´Â ¸î °³ÀÇ °£´ÜÇÑ ¹æ¹ýÀ¸·Î ÅëÁõÀ» ¿ÏÈÇÕ´Ï´Ù. Eating smaller quantities at meal times, avoiding acidic foods and beverages, and also avoiding alcohol and smoking, can to a certain extent alleviate your heartburn.

Also if you suffer from chronic heartburn, then you probably wake frequently in the night with your chest on fire. ¶ÇÇÑ ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿ °í»ýÇÏ´Â °æ¿ì ´ÙÀ½°ú ¹ãÀ» ¾Æ¸¶ ´ç½ÅÀÇ °¡½¿¿¡ ¿þÀÌÅ©¿¡ ºÒÀ» ÀÚÁÖÇÕ´Ï´Ù. A good way to avoid this is not to go to sleep immediately after a meal, and if you can, elevating your head a few inches will help as well.

In fact if you suffer from chronic heartburn, you're probably suffering from Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD as it is more commonly known. ½ÇÁ¦·Î ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿ °í»ýÇÏ´Â °æ¿ì, ´ç½ÅÀº ¾Æ¸¶ ½Äµµ ÁúȯÀ» ¾Î°í ¿ª·ù Áúȯ, ¶Ç´Â °Ô¸£Æ® ±×°ÍÀ̺¸´Ù ÀϹÝÀûÀ¸·Î ¾Ë·ÁÁøÇÕ´Ï´Ù.

Most people tend never to go to their doctor with their chronic heartburn, and live with this condition for years. ´ëºÎºÐÀÇ »ç¶÷µéÀº ÀÚ½ÅÀÇ ÀÇ»ç·Î À̵¿ÇÏ´Â °æÇâÀ»ÇÏÁö ¾Ê±â·Î ÀÚ½ÅÀÇ ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿, ±×¸®°í ¸î ³â µ¿¾ÈÀÌ »óÅÂ¿Í ÇÔ²² »ç´ÂÇÕ´Ï´Ù. This can result not only in a worsening of their GERD, but can also lead to the complication known as 'Barrett's Esophagus', where the esophagus walls line themselves with new cells similar to those found in the intestines.

The other problem you might find yourself facing when you actually do go to your doctor with your case of chronic heartburn is misdiagnosis. ´Ù¸¥ ¹®Á¦¿¡ Á÷¸é ½º½º·Î ãÀ» ¼ö ±ÍÇÏÀÇ ÀÇ»ç·Î À̵¿À» ÇÒ ¶§ ´ç½ÅÀÇ »ç°Ç ½ÇÁ¦·Î ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿Àº misdiagnosis. Although 40 million Americans alone suffer from heartburn, it is one of the most frequently misdiagnosed conditions, and it's easy to see why. 4000 ¸¸ ¹Ì±¹ÀεéÀº È¥ÀÚ°¡ °¡½¿¿¡ °íÅë ¹Þ°í ÀÖÁö¸¸, ±×°ÍÀº ´ëºÎºÐÀÇ ÀÚÁÖ misdiagnosed Á¶°Ç Áß Çϳª¸¦, ±×¸®°í ±×°Ç ÀÌÀ¯¸¦ ½±°Ô ¾Ë ¼öÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
Doctors can easily miss heartburn as the correct diagnosis, and frequently do, heart attack being the more common diagnosis. °¡½¿À¸·Î ÀÇ»çÀÇ ¿Ã¹Ù¸¥ Áø´ÜÀ» ¼Õ½±°Ô ¼öÇàÇÒ ¼öÀÖ½À´Ï´Ù ¾ç, ±×¸®°í ÀÚÁÖ, ½ÉÀåÀÌ °ø°ÝÀ» ÀÚ½ÅÀ̺¸´Ù ÀϹÝÀûÀÎ Áø´ÜÀ»ÇÕ´Ï´Ù. It's easy to see why really. ±×°ÍÀº ÁøÂ¥ ÀÌÀ¯¸¦ ½±°Ô ¾Ë ¼öÇÕ´Ï´Ù. The chest pain, the burning sensation just behind your breastbone, shortness of breath, blurry vision, all these can be symptoms of either a heart attack, or heartburn. °¡½¿¿¡ ÅëÁõÀÌ ±ÍÇÏÀÇ Èä°ñ ¹Ù·Î µÚ·Î °¨°¢ÀÇ ÈÀç, ¼ûÀÌ, È帴ÇÑ ºñÀü, ¸ðµç À̵éÀº ½ÉÀå ¹ßÀÛÀÇ Áõ»ó Áß Çϳª, ¶Ç´Â °¡½¿ÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
For GERD patients, the diagnosis is somewhat simpler. ¿¡ ´ëÇÑ °Ô¸£Æ® ȯÀÚ, Áø´ÜÀº ´Ù¼Ò °£´ÜÇÕ´Ï´Ù. A simple endoscopic exam, where a small camera is threaded to the end of a tube and passed down your throat, is probably the easiest solution to diagnosing whether you suffer from chronic heartburn, GERD, or mild heartburn. °£´ÜÇÑ ³»½Ã°æ °Ë»ç ½ÃÇè, ¾îµð¿¡ ³ª»çÀÇ ¸¶Áö¸·¿¡ ÀÛÀº Ä«¸Þ¶ó°¡ ¸ñ±¸¸Û¿¡ Æ©ºê¸¦ Åë°úÀº ¾Æ¸¶µµ ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °íÅë¿¡ ½Ã´Þ¸®°í ¿©ºÎ¸¦ Áø´ÜÇÏ´Â °£´ÜÇÑ ¼Ö·ç¼ÇÀ» °¡½¿, °Ô¸£Æ®, ¶Ç´Â °¡º¿î °¡½¿ÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
If you have heartburn, and you have attacks more than twice a week - this can be classified as chronic heartburn - then you need to be aware that GERD might be the underlying condition, and not mild indigestion, or heartburn as you might think. °¡½¿ÀÌ ÀÖÀ¸¸é, ±×¸®°í ´ç½ÅÀº ÀÏÁÖÀÏ¿¡ µÎ ¹ø ÀÌ»óÀÇ °ø°Ý¿¡ -ÀÌ ¸¸¼ºÀûÀÎ °¡½¿À¸·Î ºÐ·ùµÈ ¼öÀÖ½À´Ï´Ù - ±×·¸´Ù¸éÀÌÀÖÀ» Çʿ䰡ÀÖ´Ù´Â Á¡¿¡ À¯ÀÇÇϽʽÿÀ °Ô¸£Æ® ±âº» Á¶°Ç, ±×¸®°í °¡º¿î ¾Æ´Ï¶ó ¼ÒÈ ºÒ·®, ¶Ç´Â °¡½¿À¸·Î »ý°¢ÇÕ´Ï´Ù.
