Understanding the Symptoms and Effects of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)

* Chest pain: usually after eating you feel a burning sensation in the middle of the chest or upper stomach, and it is worse at night, and you feel it just under the skin, and it may seem that it goes from the stomach to the throat instead of the left arm. Chest pain, also called heartburn, can be so severe that people sometimes wonder if they’re having a heart attack.

* Dental damage: For some people, the first symptom of GERD may be damage to the tooth enamel; If stomach acid returns to the mouth too often, it can erode the surface of the teeth.

Difficulty swallowing: It is also possible to have laryngopharyngeal reflux instead of esophageal reflux, or both. In this case, symptoms include the throat, larynx, voice and nasal passages.

Bad taste: you may have a bitter or sour taste in your mouth; Because food or stomach acid may go up into the esophagus and into the back of the throat. And if you have nocturnal reflux, you may also experience a chronic cough, laryngitis, new or painful asthma, and interrupted sleep.
