About GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus. This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of your esophagus. While many people experience acid reflux occasionally, GERD is diagnosed when it occurs frequently and requires ongoing treatment.

Common Causes

  • Weakened lower esophageal sphincter
  • Hiatal hernia
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Delayed stomach emptying
  • Connective tissue disorders
  • Smoking and alcohol
  • Certain medications

Symptoms to Watch For

1
Frequent heartburn (twice weekly or more)
2
Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
3
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)
4
Chest pain, especially when lying down
5
Sensation of a lump in your throat
6
Chronic cough
7
Laryngitis or hoarseness
8
New or worsening asthma
9
Disrupted sleep

When to Seek Medical Attention

While many cases of gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can be treated online, you should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Heartburn more than twice a week
  • Symptoms don't improve with lifestyle changes
  • Difficulty or pain when swallowing
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Vomiting blood or black stools
  • Chronic cough or asthma symptoms
  • Chest pain (rule out heart conditions first)
