Sometimes this response is most pronounced when one drinks a glass of whole milk just before bedtime to treat heartburn and induce sleep, as ritual and old wives' tales have suggested. Whole milk and dairy products may worsen acid reflux of GERD because of the fat contained in those food products.
Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often linked to a buildup of pressure inside your eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.
Normally, the fluid, called aqueous humor, flows out of your eye through a mesh-like channel. If this channel gets blocked, the liquid builds up. Thatâs what causes glaucoma. The reason for the blockage is unknown, but doctors do know it can be inherited, meaning itâs passed from parents to children. Less common causes include a blunt or chemical injury to your eye, severe eye infection, blocked blood vessels inside the eye, and inflammatory conditions.
