the dangers of unmanaged hyperacidity: why taking action matters

hyperacidity means your stomach is producing too much acid.

if you don’t manage it, the excess acid can cause a lot of problems. the acid can wear down the lining of your stomach, leading to painful ulcers and even bleeding, which can be really serious as it can also irritate your esophagus (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach), making it hard to swallow.

if the acid keeps coming back up, it can lead to gerd, a condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn hence, long exposure of these acids can also cause respiratory problems like asthma, chronic cough or severe painful hiccups.

too much acid can mess with your body’s ability to absorb nutrients, which means you might end up with deficiencies, like not having enough iron or calcium, leading to conditions like anemia, osteoporosis and many more. 

in the worst-case scenario, chronic hyperacidity might even increase the risk of stomach cancer.

so, it’s super important to manage hyperacidity. 

you can do this by making some lifestyle changes by watching your diet, avoiding trigger foods, not eating late at night, and reducing your stress. also, medical treatments like antacids or other medications can help keep your stomach acid in check.
