My Chest Is On Fire!!!!

My biggest health issue when I was at my heaviest weight was my acid reflux. The pain is still clear in my mind and it is a pain that I never want to live again! It was very common for me to be sitting in the middle of the night, propped up with pillows on my living room couch holding my chest tightly. I was only 42 years old and it was very scary for me to be feeling this.

Lets just say that my husband would not sleep much either, worried and not quite sure how to help me in my situation of excruciating pain. I was feeling at my worst mentally and physically. Of course this would disrupt my sleeping pattern and I would lose a good 3 hour sleep every night. This would not help me be in the best shape the next day and lets just say that my patience, mood and temper were not my best assets.

I knew that I had to do something soon, I couldn't go on living like this, that's for sure. This easily went on for a good six months. I would live this everyday, not understanding what effects it was having inside my body.

When I finally decided to set up an appointment with my family doctor, I was convinced that I would have a number of tests done and maybe blood work to find out what was causing this to make my body react in such a violent manner on a regular basis. To my surprise, I was at my heaviest, not one thing was mentioned about my eating habits and without any further testing I was prescribed Zantac tablets to be taken twice a day for the rest of my life!!!

Read this article about the side-effects of this drug. Make sure to read all the way to the bottom.

Lets just say that this was the wake up call that I needed. I had hit rock bottom, went straight from the doctor's office to Physical Limits.There, I set up an appointment with one of their weight loss consultants and I've never looked back. I never took one of those pills and from day one of switching my daily coffees and bad food choices for healthy choices I have been living a pain free life!!

I've had acid reflux attacks only 3 times since then and I know exactly what source it is coming from. I know that I have to stay away from fatty cheese, late night snacks and caffeine. I have now figured out what the triggers are and I can avoid these situations very easily.

Here is a commercial that shows how using Zantac is only a superficial fix. It only shows that you can still keep choosing the bad food choices and life will be good. Not ever mentioning all of the continuous damage that is being done inside your body.

I've also seeked the help of a fantastic Naturopath by the name of Joanne Gauthier that can be located at Medical Arts Pharmacy on 13th Street here in Cornwall. She is an amazing individual that has helped me heal from the inside/out....using my core and my inner strenght naturally....she is the best and I highly recommend her.

Here is a video that I wish I would have seen three years ago. Maybe it would have helped me understand better what I needed to do to heal myself. It would have forced me to look at myself in the mirror and realize that I was the only one that could fix my situation naturally. We all have the power within to heal ourselves.

Stay healthy...
