Dry coughing is one of the worst conditions I have ever experience! I used and drank most of the strong cough syrup I can find in the pharmacies and as prescribed by physicians but not effect. Until I realized myself the source of dry coughing was - ACID REFLUX!

I've been through close to death situation during my acidity and hypertension attack. Four times collapsed, the worst with 2 inches cut and 5 stitches above my forehead! While going for work I felt dizzy in the elevator then immediately go back to apartment, but before I can open the door I collapsed and "BANG" my head hit the door!

Usually my acidity reflux comes early morning around 3 am, when we are supposed to be at deep sleep, and then start coughing. Drinking water alleviates momentarily the acid reflux but after few minutes it aggravates it. I have this acidity reflux condition for more than 2 years. It also attacks when I am under stress or catching schedules. So, it came out than I got two serious health problem, my acidity aggravate my hypertension! When acidity attacks come, my mouth is bubbling and I have to spit every time which is disgusting to everybody! Doctor’s prescribed anti-acid tablet, drinks etc... with no result! (I don't blame the doctors).

One of the difficult and dangerous things happens when my acid reflux is the difficulty in breathing like running of oxygen! You know what happen if you run out of oxygen!

I have to find a cure for my health problem, otherwise I will not have any more problems and I did not wanted that to happen. Coz no problem that means I am dead!

So I started with the foods I eat! If I eat something today, I have to observe myself the next day. As I have mentioned in my other hub about stress, fruits early in the morning play a great role in solving my acidity problem. Water early morning will not help when you have acidity problem, as the water will fuel acidity. I avoided bread with yeast! Sliced bread is loaded with yeast! I avoided milk products during my acidity period, no bottled or can drinks except water. No Alcohol!

I have to bring my acidity down so I can enjoy food again!

Fruits, fish and vegetables and a little bit of exercise solved my 2 health problem acid reflux and hypertension! I don't believe in heavy exercise, as our body needs to rest to stay fit. Everybody sure will agree that sleep is the best for the body! Because when we sleep that's the time when our cells heals!

Presently, I don't have any problem to eat any food or drinks and I enjoy being healthy!

Bottom line, discipline in everything will keep us fit and healthy!
