What does an extinguished fire in the stove have to do with heartburn?

 

Strange title, right? Really, what connection could there be between the cold in the house, the cold stove and heartburn? There is, I tell you. 

Since every person is unique and perceives everything in their own unique way, here's how the connection is made in my case... 

This year is the second winter that we spend in the country, next to the stove, chopping wood, making a fire. We have a central stove that we can't heat to the brim, we can't fill it with too much wood because the pressure and temperature in it have to be constantly monitored, it's a mess and you can't leave it there alone to do its job and that's it. That's why it's harder to use at night - we should stay awake next to it. The day is ok, but overnight the fire goes out and sometimes it gets to 14 degrees in the house. The house is old, it loses heat everywhere. There are solutions, we are considering them, but the discussion here is different... 

And at night I still go to the bathroom, put the child to the potty, drink a glass of water, air out... all actions that involve getting out of bed in the cold. As soon as I wake up and know that I have to get out of bed, the heartburn starts instantly. Yes, immediately, regardless of what I ate that evening and other "immortal stories" that can be found on the internet as an explanation for these heartburns. Heartburns appear as a symptom of an ACTIVE conflict of anger, annoyance, irritation. I hold on as long as I hesitate to get out of bed, as long as I do my work around the house and as soon as my irritation passes I go back to bed in the warmth, in my thick woolen blanket. 

Without taking medication, without eating or drinking anything in particular... simply as soon as I am no longer annoyed by the situation, the heartburn goes away... on the spot. I've written about heartburn and similar cases I've been through - here. 

Good health to everyone and don't forget to study NMG while you're healthy!
