Acid Reflux (GERD)
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. When acid reflux becomes chronic, it is known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Left untreated, GERD can lead to serious complications, including esophageal damage and an increased risk of esophageal cancer.
Common Symptoms of Acid Reflux & GERD
Acid reflux symptoms vary from mild to severe and may worsen after meals or while lying down. Signs include:
✔ Frequent heartburn (burning sensation in the chest)
✔ Acid regurgitation (sour or bitter taste in the mouth)
✔ Chronic cough or sore throat
✔ Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
✔ Bloating and burping
✔ Feeling of food stuck in the throat
✔ Hoarseness or voice changes
✔ Chest pain resembling heartburn
If you experience acid reflux symptoms more than twice a week, it may indicate GERD.
