GERD Symptoms

GERD stands for GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease

Most Common Symptoms
  • Persistent heartburn (a painful, burning feeling in the chest, most commonly occurring after a meal)
  • Acid regurgitation


Other Symptoms
Some people have GERD without heartburn or acid regurgitation. Instead, they experience
  • Pain in the chest
  • Hoarseness in the morning
  • Trouble swallowing
  • You may feel like you have food stuck in your throat or like you are choking or your throat is sore or tight
  • Dry cough
  • Breathing difficulties similar to asthma
Some people have NERD (Non-erosive esophageal reflux disease). NERD is chronic reflux symptoms but without inflammation of the esophageal tissue.
