I came across this physiotherapist video regarding reflux. Found it interesting and hopefully helpful.

Hi thank you for posting this excellent video, slight problem with doing the exercise, I am experiencing a sharp pain in my back and chest when I take a deep breath. I do have angina but it doesn’t feel or resemble that. I appreciate none of us are medically qualified but with regards to Systemic Sclerosis and reflux and swallowing difficulties which are happening to me, should I be concerned, perhaps it is just that I don’t normally deep breath and muscles are resenting the extra work !I’m due to see the Scleroderma Specialist next week.

Thank you for any advice.

I would most definitely speak with the specialist about them before continuing with the excercises especially if they are causing you discomfort. Have you got any lung issues? You say angina, so you have heart issues? I would speak with your heart specialist as well. Take care of your self and don’t over do anything!

Hi thank you for your reply, I am being assessed for possible exercise induced PulmonaryHypertension so it could well be my lungs objecting, my heart thing is a congenital heart defect which has gone on to cause other heart problems. I will speak to both specialists, but thanks again the video was very good and hopefully I will be able to do the exercises once the pain issues have been evaluated. I think sometimes we all push our selves too hard, I’m new to Scleroderma and Raynauds so am learning fast. You take care as well and thank you for caring.

gastric emptying study ask the doctor good luck if your having pain try wild lettuce extract mt rose herbs, ebay let me know how it works for you. love julie

Yes I’ve had this done, as not only reflux but have difficulty swallowing, this Scleroderma thing just gives and gives !! I have to take Warfarin and have to be very careful with over the counter medications as some affect my INR blood clotting levels due to interaction. But I will certainly ask if I could try the herb at my next Anticoagulant appointment, thank you for your info and will let you know what they say.
