1. Cause
Ulcer occurs due to damage or inflammation of the protective lining of the stomach (gastric mucosa) which causes excessive stomach acid production.
Meanwhile, GERD is caused by reflux of stomach acid that rises up into the esophagus.
Usually occurs because of a weakness in the valve between the stomach and esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter).
2. Symptoms
Gastritis sufferers will generally experience heartburn or upper stomach pain, a burning feeling in the chest (heartburn), and a sensation of bloating.
On the other hand, GERD sufferers will feel discomfort in the chest such as burning and pain that develops in the arms, neck or back.
They may also experience symptoms such as a chronic cough, frequent burping, and grunting sounds during sleep.
