00:00Whenever it's hot, the outings are always left to the right and left to the right.
00:08And it's delicious to eat. You can't miss it when there's swimming.
00:14That's why sometimes, RG's family visited a restaurant.
00:18They ordered Lechong Manok, Pork Chop, and other snacks.
00:24RG is also known for his love for coffee and soft drinks.
00:29One night, when I got home, we still had soft drinks.
00:32After I ate, maybe one hour before I went to sleep,
00:37we fell asleep.
00:42But only 30 minutes after they fell asleep,
00:45RG suddenly woke up, as if he was being chased by ghosts.
00:54His wife immediately woke him up.
01:00She tried to wake him up and made him sit down.
01:04But RG continued to chase the ghost.
01:16I saw in the video that I was in the middle.
01:20That's what happened. I couldn't breathe.
01:23I couldn't even stand up.
01:26I was just in the middle of my wife.
01:31It was hard for him to breathe. He couldn't even speak.
01:37Other family members of RG also woke up.
01:43Almost 2 minutes passed before RG was able to breathe properly.
01:49All I could think of was gratitude.
01:53As I was trying to breathe, all I could think of was gratitude.
01:59It was really hard for me. I felt like I was going to die.
02:07RG believed that he was being chased because he ate a lot.
02:11He was always hungry, especially if he was tired from work.
02:16RG was always on the road as a delivery rider.
02:21I was so tired.
02:23When I got home, I just ate for an hour or two.
02:28I was on my phone, and then I fell asleep.
02:31I didn't even get to sleep.
02:33I just fell asleep on the road.
02:37RG's experience was painful.
02:40His presentation was like he was having a hard time breathing.
02:46It was like he was having a hard time waking up.
02:50We usually see that in people who have a hard time waking up.
02:55But RG's presentation was like he was having a hard time breathing.
03:03We usually see that in people who have an obstructive sleep apnea.
03:09When he sleeps, he gets bloated.
03:14When he gets bloated, he can't breathe properly.
03:18So the result was that he was chasing his breath when he woke up.
03:25When RG was in pain, they immediately went to the hospital.
03:30He went to the hospital for an electrocardiogram or ECG.
03:36According to the doctor who examined RG, the result was normal.
03:40He said that he experienced a possible heartburn.
03:44They injected me with acid.
03:47When they injected me, I already had a pain in my chest.
03:52I just took my medicine.
03:54After 30 minutes, the pain was gone.
03:58I thought that maybe it was the acid.
04:06A few weeks before the incident, RG noticed that he often had a heartburn.
04:12Before this happened, I always felt pain in my chest.
04:18Sometimes, I felt pain in my lower abdomen.
04:21But it was always limited to my chest.
04:23As long as my heartburn continued, I didn't eat.
04:27According to RG's general physician, Dr. Eric John Merioles,
04:31heartburn is a burning sensation or pain in the chest caused by acid reflux.
04:39Acid reflux is the rise of acid from the uterus to the esophagus.
04:45This is due to the weakening or improper closure of the lower esophageal sphincter.
04:53According to Dr. Eric, it is often experienced by people who love to eat a lot.
04:59Usually, people who are under stress also experience reflux.
05:04They sleep less.
05:06That is one of the risk factors of acid reflux.
05:09If you have a lifestyle where you like to drink coffee and soft drinks,
05:14you may develop acid reflux.
05:16Acid reflux often occurs when you lie down after eating.
05:21When you are full and you feel like vomiting,
05:24you may experience gastric contents.
05:27You may have gastric contents aspiration.
05:30If you have gastric contents aspiration,
05:32it is difficult for you to breathe.
05:34You may feel like you are drowning.
05:38When acid reflux occurs, it can be gastroesophageal reflux disorder
05:43or gastric reflux.
05:44It can be gastroesophageal reflux disorder or GERD.
05:48This is what you need to treat.
05:50You need to maintain your medicine or drink medicine when you have an attack.
05:55To avoid the risk of acid reflux,
05:58a healthy diet is a must.
06:00And of course, consult your local doctor for the right prescription.
06:06If you have symptoms of acid reflux,
06:09avoid drinking alcohol,
06:13caffeinated beverages, spicy and sour foods.
06:16That is the most preventive.
06:19It is better to consult a doctor for the right medicine
06:23because if you have an acidic or long acid reflux,
06:26you may develop complications.
06:28RG is slowly changing his lifestyle.
06:33He is avoiding junk food
06:36and is also trying healthy living.
06:39I don't eat rice anymore.
06:41I don't eat vegetables anymore.
06:45I don't eat chicken anymore.
06:47I don't eat pork anymore
06:49until I feel better.
06:54Aside from eating healthy,
06:56RG is also following a healthy lifestyle.
07:02And after a year of continuous maintenance of his good health,
07:07the result is that he is no longer suffering from acid reflux.
07:15Health should be taken care of.
07:18In the first few years or symptoms,
07:21do not sleep.
07:23Consult your local doctor immediately.
