Learn Why You Should Take Acid Reflux (GERD) Serious

In Part I, we spoke about Joan Rivers’ death in both a serious and a humorous way, as well as my own experience where things went sideways.

Thankfully, there was no long term negative impact in my case. Ordinarily, I would only be serious about these issues, but I thought Joan would approve. In Part II, I will focus on the seriousness of this condition and what we can do about it.

It is important to always remember that many medical procedures that are typically not considered “serious” can turn on a dime, much like a car skidding and hitting another vehicle broadside.

Medical literature is filled with conditions arising from ailments as innocuous as a splinter, and before anyone can discover the root cause of the problem, an infection develops and tragedy strikes.

Acid reflux can be a simple cause of discomfort or it can be life threatening, depending how long someone waits to address the symptoms. An endoscopy like Joan Rivers received is usually quite safe; I personally must have had close to ten of these procedures performed on me.

What should we do to keep ourselves safe?

If you suffer from acid reflux, go to your doctor right away. It is most likely very treatable, especially if addressed early on.

If your doctor tells you to lift the head of the bed, don’t hesitate – a “Reflux Guard” is an easy way to comply with this recommendation. In my personal experience, I did not lift the head of my bed for many years and when I finally did, it turned out to be a game changer. Ultimately, I was later diagnosed with Barrett Esophagus and realized that I had been suffering needlessly for a long time.
It is important to find a competent, caring doctor; the question is “how?”
Get a personal recommendation or referral from a general practitioner whom you trust.

Go to the National Library of Medicine to look for papers the doctor has published in the field in which you are experiencing difficulty.
Go to the magazine US News and World Report. Every year they rank the highest rated doctors and hospitals.

With all the best efforts, however, it is still important to remember that doctors can make mistakes and there is no bulletproof way of assuring a 100% level of safety.

Therefore, it is best to be proactive and begin dealing with health issues as soon as we feel there may be a problem. You must be your own best advocate in recognizing and addressing your health concerns.
