Over the weekend, I had guests and I personally watched my dear and loved ones in the afternoon trying to get comfortable on the couch.
"Just do not lie!" - I shouted to them by placing a pillow higher, so that they remain in a sitting position.
"Come on, we are slim," - they said. "If a little Zhirkov start up - we are on Monday sleeves in the gym."
And then I realized that it was time to write a post ...
Lying in the afternoon, you should not.
Thus we provoke a very unpleasant thing as hiatal hernia. If the rough, which means that the lower esophagus and the upper part of the stomach can move into the chest cavity, above the diaphragm.
Aperture, remember, is a powerful muscular organ that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal. In the most severe cases, together with the stomach and intestines forms a hernia.
symptoms:
- heartburn (reflux), belching, hiccups, vomiting,
- chest pain, which can masquerade as a heart disease,
- tachycardia, pain in the heart,
- shortness of breath, cough,
- skin turning blue after eating (cyanosis)
- dysphagia (when food starts to move in the opposite direction).
Very often hiatal hernia in the process involves the vagus nerve, located in the neighborhood and a masking weight of heavy and unpleasant sensations, as headedness, feeling of heart failure and other unpleasant condition, much to scare people and worsen their quality of life.
Over the years, this hernia to get all the easier, maybe, together with the aging of our cells lose their elasticity. And it can lead to unpleasant consequences up to the infringement of the stomach (and it can bring to a purulent inflammation and death), and gastrointestinal bleeding.
How to treat a hiatal hernia.
I did not expect this kind of attention to this subject. Apparently, to lie down after a meal with us - it is a national sport.
If everything is not much running, and hernia manifests itself mainly heartburn and regurgitation, then help can split meals.
- It is necessary to have not three times a day over and over, and small meals every three hours.
- Desirable to avoid spicy and fatty food.
- Quit smoking (this is generally very improves the condition of the gastrointestinal tract).
- Many react badly to chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, onions, garlic.
- And, of course, no hearty dinner, just a light snack for 3 hours before bedtime.
- It is also necessary to avoid lifting weights and doing exercises to overtax the stomach muscles.
And, of course, stroynet to a normal weight.
There is surgery, but do not bring themselves to serious interference. The result of the operation does not always reach the desired goal.
So if you want to lie down after lunch - just sit.
