What is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Heartburn
(GERD/Acid Reflux)?

• Although "heartburn" is often used to describe a
  variety of digestive problems, in medical terms
  it is actually a symptom of gastroesophageal
  reflux disease. In this condition, the acids from
  the stomach reflux or accidently "back up" into
  the esophagus (food pipe). Heartburn is described
  as a harsh, burning sensation in the area in
  between your ribs or just below your neck. The
  feeling may radiate through the chest and into
  the throat and neck.

6 Signs Youre Suffering From Acid Reflux.

• 1. Acidic taste in the mouth
• This condition is normally caused by the muscle
  or sphincter at the top of the stomach. When it
  becomes weak, acid rises up into the food pipe.
  The sour acidic taste can stay for weeks and be
  very irritating, affecting your quality of life.

2. Heartburn Heartburn is the most common symptom
of GERD. Symptoms of heartburn are usually
burning or discomfort in the middle of the lower
chest after eating. The discomfort may increase
when bending over or lying flat on your back.

3. Dyspepsia When experiencing acid reflux you
may feel stomach discomfort, which includes
nausea after eating, upper abdominal pain,
burping, and stomach fullness. Sometimes you
cant even feel hunger and dont have an appetite
because of the feeling of fullness in your
stomach.
4. Dysphagia Dysphagia means that you can feel
the sensation of stacked food in your throat.
This happens because of a narrowing of your
esophagus. When dysphagia happens, it can become
a challenge because you cant swallow, so you may
eat not enough calories which can lead to
additional medical problems.

5. Coughing Coughing is not a typical symptom of
acid reflux, but at least 25-40 percent of cases
are registered with a chronic cough.
6. Regurgitation Regurgitation is a backing up of
acid into your throat or mouth. You may
experience a bitter taste, a burp, and sometimes
even vomit. Regurgitation can happen at any time,
but it is especially disturbing at night. You can
wake up with bitter liquid in your throat and a
feeling of panic.
