"ACID PEPTIC DISORDER".......!!! THE INTERNAL FIRE...........

It’s quiet common nowadays among many people with constant troubles like

Majority of them usually ignore their complaints for a very long period and seek medical advise with some serious complications.
Even though the clinical picture is assessed by the physicians, it is un-avoidable to do the complete investigations to confirm the exact cause.
In most instances the patient have to 'spend a lot' for these and need a period of hospitalisation.
More over they have to take strict medication for a long period to protect themselves from further complications.

Then what will be the cause?

“ACID PEPTIC DISORDER” -is that….!!

Some of the clinical features are closely resembling the heart disease and lung disease and so the clinicians investigate fully to exclude that.
Acid peptic disorder is not only a problem of digestive system,but which directly bites all of the other vital systems including Cardio-vascular,Endocrine and Nervous systems.
Skipping breakfasts,Unusual food timings,consuming fatty foods and excessive spicy items,Alcohol,Cigarette smoking, Medicines (Pain relievers,steroids etc), and Anxity-may cause ACID PEPTIC DISORDERS.

Un-noticed APD may lead to complications.

Treating the patients and educating them are equally important in my clinical practice.
It's my usual thing to spend time to discuss with the patients and counselling them.
Detailed enquiry about their diet habits and personal hobbits are also carefully documented.
This give me additional strength to know the physical and mental condition of the patients and highly graceful to get a better diagnosis.
Most of the APD victims who develop this problem are females.
Even though alcoholism and smoking play very important role in the formation of Acid-peptic disorders, the non-alcoholic and non-smoking females are affected more due to their dietary regulations.
