I am 53. About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with acid reflux. I was given an upper GI. Then, approximately 3 yrs. ago diagnosed with moderate COPD.  I do agree that when the reflux gets going with me, that it does make breathing more difficult.

Over the years, I have had to learn ways to help the reflux. Sleep with 2 pillows. Do not eat and immediately lay down. Avoid the foods that seem to aggrevate the reflux more. And eat smaller meals 6 times a day. When we overeat at once during a meal, the acid reflux is sure to happen. There are many good meds to help with acid reflux as well. Some of them over the counter and also prescribed by the doctor.

I hope this has helped. Many sites will tell you these are the things to do to help with the reflux. And they have worked for me all these years. I still get reflux from time to time, but it has lessen over the years with these techniques. Please feel better. God bless.

I was diagnosed of Emphysema (COPD) in 2011, I have tried all possible means to get cure but all my effort proved abortive, until a friend of mine introduced me to a herbal doctor from South Africa, who prepare herbal medicine to cure all kind of diseases including Emphysema (COPD), when i contacted this herbal doctor via his email, he asked me for some of my details and some few items which where needed for the preparation of the herbs. i provided them, and he prepared the herbs and sent me the Emphysema (COPD) medicinal herbs via courier service, when i received the herbal medicine he gave me step by step instructions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed i was totally cured from the virus within 3 days of usage. i am stunned at this great works done by dr iguega at the point when i thought my life was gone. Contact this great herbal doctor via his email dr.***@**** and dr.***@**** or dr.***@****
