Cough in the middle of the night was quickly solved by China acupuncture because of gastroesophageal reflux combined with runny nose.

Chronic kidney disease stage 5: end-stage renal disease, uremia chronic kidney disease stage 3: moderate chronic kidney disease, renal function has been obviously damaged. Vaccination is simpler, painless, faster and more convenient? American scientists have developed novel coronavirus vaccine without injection, and the incidence and prevalence of dialysis in Taiwan Province Province rank first and second in the world. How to prevent kidney disease? The doctor said that sleeping in the middle of the night and coughing constantly greatly reduced the quality of sleep and work efficiency. Went to the otolaryngology department, but I couldn't find the reason. Beware of atypical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux! Clinically, patients with gastroesophageal reflux and runny nose often hang up in the emergency department because of cough, and injections and medicines are ineffective; Yang, a doctor of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, used acupuncture therapy, scalp acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture and acupoint injection to improve the gastroesophageal reflux rate by more than 90%.

The reflux of gastric acid to the throat will be * * * outside the throat, and excessive nasal discharge will also cause cough, especially when both of them are * * *, the cough is more serious, and both of them need to be treated at the same time to alleviate the cough problem.

The main cause of gastroesophageal reflux is relaxation of cardiac sphincter.

In view of the etiology of gastroesophageal reflux, Dr. Yang explained that the main reason is the relaxation of esophageal sphincter, which may be caused by neurological abnormalities and myocardial degeneration, or by abnormal work and rest, overeating or unknown reasons. Typical symptoms are heartburn, most of which are atypical and often overlooked, such as foreign body sensation in the throat, sore throat, cough, hoarseness, chest tightness, backache and so on. "The reason is that acid reflux reaches the throat and respiratory tract, causing cough. In severe cases, it will penetrate into the trachea and cause aspiration pneumonia. 」

Atypical gastroesophageal reflux may not be found soon unless there are obvious heartburn symptoms; Yang pointed out that such patients often go to the otolaryngology department first, and then go to the gastroenterologist if the diagnosis and treatment is ineffective. They didn't know it was gastroesophageal reflux until they finished the gastroscope. However, gastroscopy is mainly used for the first-line preliminary detection, and the diagnostic accuracy of cardia sphincter relaxation is not high, so the latest one is to swallow capsules and place them near the lower esophagus to detect the pH value.

There are more people with island-type climate allergic rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis often has the symptoms of sneezing, runny nose and stuffy nose, but many people also have the problem of stuffy nose. Dr. Yang pointed out that besides the reflux of gastric acid to the throat, excessive runny nose can also cause cough, especially when the two occur at the same time, the cough is more serious. It is necessary to treat both at the same time to relieve the cough problem. Dr. Yang's acupuncture can treat both at the same time, and the effect of improving cough is very significant.

Yang, doctor of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine

Unique acupuncture therapy of traditional Chinese medicine for gastroesophageal reflux.

For the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux, western medicine mainly uses antacids or gastric acid inhibitors, but some side effects can not be cured at all. Surgery is invasive, risky and has many sequelae. To this end, Dr. Yang used acupuncture therapy, scalp acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture. The theory is that scalp acupuncture combined with ear acupuncture can strengthen the treatment of visceral reaction area of human scalp, which is helpful to strengthen the tension of cardiac sphincter and achieve good recovery effect of gastroesophageal reflux.

According to the different symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, acupuncture therapy varies from person to person; However, the purpose of strengthening the sphincter of cardia is almost the same, and the curative effect varies with the degree of illness. Dr. Yang suggested that according to the severity of symptoms, every 2-3 days of treatment 1 time, most of them can obviously improve symptoms, with an average of 1-2 courses of treatment (acupuncture 10-20 times or so). As long as it is kept good, nearly 90% of patients have no recurrence and need no acupuncture.

"Gastric acid is a strong acid. If the cells are eroded for a long time, there is a risk of cytopathy and fear of lower esophageal cancer. Dr. Yang reminded that esophageal mucosal cells have been repeatedly burned and healed for a long time, resulting in granulation tissue, which may lead to esophageal stenosis and vocal cord injury. If you are nervous, you will feel chest tightness and backache.

Pay attention to prevent recurrence. These movements are very NG.

There used to be patients who kept coughing all day. Professor Yang also used acupuncture to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and allergic rhinitis. After the patient left the needle for half an hour, the cough symptoms improved. In addition, daily maintenance is also very important. Dr. Yang Longjun stressed that life is normal, don't overeat (quickly fill your stomach), don't exercise vigorously after meals, and don't lie flat after meals. As for smoking, coffee, sweets and other diets, it will not cause gastric acid reflux, but will only aggravate reflux. The main reason is the relaxation of cardiac sphincter. Moreover, obesity will not cause gastric acid reflux, mainly due to sedentary or tight belts, and high abdominal pressure will squeeze the stomach, which will easily relax the sphincter of cardia. "Therefore, I won't restrict the patient's diet or lose weight, so I can still eat sweets and drink coffee. 」
