Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder in which acid-containing contents in your stomach seep back up into your esophagus, the tube that connects your neck to your stomach. When food reaches your stomach, a valve at the end of your esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter fails to seal correctly, causing acid reflux. Acid backwash then travels up your esophagus, through your throat, and into your mouth, leaving you with a sour taste.<\/p>\n

Nearly everyone experiences acid reflux at some point in their lives. It’s very natural to have acid reflux and heartburn sometimes. However, if you experience acid reflux\/heartburn more than twice a week for several weeks, you may have GERD. When you have GERD, your esophageal tissue is damaged by stomach acid on a daily basis. The tissue is eventually ruined. You can observe how chronic acid reflux and heartburn affects your everyday eating and sleeping patterns if you experience it. Contact your healthcare provider if GERD is making your daily life difficult. Although GERD isn’t fatal, the persistent inflammation of the esophagus it causes can lead to more serious complications. To relieve your symptoms, you may require stronger prescription drugs or possibly surgery.<\/p>\n

Read on to find out the symptoms of this painful condition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Heartburn after Eating<\/h2>\n

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest that occurs directly beneath the breastbone. After eating, in the evening, or when lying down or bending over, the discomfort is usually greater. Heartburn is typical and should not be cause for concern, unless it is chronic as with GERD. The majority of people can control their heartburn symptoms with lifestyle adjustments and over-the-counter drugs. Heartburn that becomes more common or disrupts your everyday routine might be a sign of a more serious problem that requires medical attention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Chest Pain<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Belly Belly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chest pain should not be overlooked. However, you should be aware that there are several alternative causes. It is frequently linked to the heart. Chest pain can be caused by a variety of things, including issues with your lungs, esophagus, muscles, ribs, or nerves. Some of these disorders are dangerous and even fatal. Others, though, are not. The only method to determine the reason for unexplained chest pain is to have a doctor examine you.<\/p>\n

If you experience chest pain, consult your doctor if it comes on abruptly or does not respond to anti-inflammatory drugs or other self-care measures such as modifying your diet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Difficulty Swallowing<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Dysphagia is the medical terminology for difficulty swallowing. Some persons with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing specific meals or drinks, while others are unable to swallow anything at all. Dysphagia can also result in weight loss and recurrent chest infections over time. The kind and cause of dysphagia determine the treatment. Although proper management can help many cases of dysphagia, a cure is not always possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Regurgitation of Food or Bile<\/h2>\n
\"\"
SBS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When a mixture of gastric fluids and occasionally undigested food comes back up the esophagus and into the mouth, it is known as regurgitation. Involuntary regurgitation is a frequent acid reflux and GERD symptom in adults. It might potentially be an indication of rumination disorder, an uncommon ailment. Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when acid reflux occurs many times each week. Regurgitation of stomach acid or food is a typical symptom of both acid reflux and GERD.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Sensation of a Lump in Your Throat<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Huffington Post<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Globus is a symptom that might cause a feeling of having a lump in your throat. It’s also known as ‘globus sensation.’ Globus can be induced by a variety of factors, including increased muscular tension or throat discomfort. You should not be concerned if anything sticks in your throat but you can eat and drink regularly and without pain. Many people who have globus sensation note that it worsens when they swallow their saliva, or that it worsens when they are stressed or worried. Symptoms may change from day to day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Chronic Cough<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Medical News Today<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most prevalent reasons of a chronic cough is GERD. In fact, studies believe that GERD is to blame for nearly 25% of all chronic cough cases. The majority of people who have a GERD-induced cough don’t have traditional GERD symptoms like heartburn. Acid reflux or the reflux of nonacidic stomach contents can both induce chronic cough.<\/p>\n

When a chronic cough occurs mostly at night or after a meal, while you’re lying down, and when other common causes aren’t present, such as smoking or taking medications (including ACE inhibitors) that cause coughing as a side effect, coughing without asthma or postnasal drip, or when chest X-rays are normal, GERD may be the cause.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Laryngitis<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Dr. Weil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reflux laryngitis is a voice condition caused by the reflux of stomach juices into the throat, causing irritation and swelling of the vocal folds. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the medical term for this backflow (acid that reaches the level of the throat). Acids and enzymes in stomach fluids aid digestion in the stomach, but they cause issues elsewhere in the food pipe [esophagus, throat, and voice box]. Acid or non-acidic reflux disease might occur. It is divided into GERD and LPR for acid reflux. Heartburn is a common GERD symptom. Throat clearing, a lump in the throat, and hoarseness are more likely LPR symptoms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. New or Worsening Asthma<\/h2>\n
\"\"
National Jewish<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Asthma that is severe is frequently more difficult to control than asthma that is mild to moderate. Asthma drugs may need to be used at greater doses and more often. Severe asthma may be hazardous and even life-threatening if not managed appropriately.<\/p>\n

It’s critical that you can spot when your condition isn’t being appropriately handled. This might assist you in taking measures to locate a more successful treatment strategy. You may be suffering an asthma attack or exacerbation if you notice a more abrupt and severe start of symptoms that differ from your usual symptoms. This can involve, among other things, great trouble breathing, wheezing, chest tightness, cough, and shortness of breath.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. Disrupted Sleep<\/h2>\n
\"\"
Eating Disorders Review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Several problems linked with gastroesophageal reflux disease are exacerbated by nighttime reflux (GERD). Because of delayed stomach emptying, slowed esophageal peristalsis, decreased swallowing and salivary production, and longer esophageal clearance during sleep, reflux patterns change between wakefulness and sleep. Shorter sleep duration, trouble going asleep, arousals throughout sleep, poor sleep quality, and waking up early in the morning are all symptoms of GERD, according to clinical data. As a result, there is a bidirectional association between GERD and sleep problems. Avoiding a late-night meal is one of the lifestyle changes that can help reduce nocturnal reflux.<\/p>\n

If you are unsure what you are experiencing is GERD or just a heavy meal that isn\u2019t sitting well, be sure to contact your healthcare provider and schedule an appointment to determine the cause of your symptoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
