Helping you understand Our healthcare
GERD stands for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. It is a chronic condition in which stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and symptoms like heartburn, chest discomfort, and regurgitation.
Typical GERD symptoms include:
Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn)
Acidic or bitter taste in the mouth
Regurgitation of food or liquid
Difficulty swallowing
Chronic cough or sore throat
Symptoms worsen after meals or at night
GERD is often caused by a weakened lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which allows stomach acid to reflux back into the esophagus. Contributing factors include:
Obesity
Smoking
Pregnancy
Certain foods and drinks (e.g., caffeine, spicy or fatty foods)
Medications that relax the LES
While GERD is a chronic condition, its symptoms can often be managed effectively through lifestyle changes and medications. In some cases, surgery can offer long-term relief.
Consult a doctor if:
You have frequent or severe heartburn
Over-the-counter medications don’t help
You have difficulty swallowing, chest pain, or unintended weight loss
Symptoms disturb your sleep or daily life
