What is reflux?
Reflux can be referred to by a number of different names including Gastroesophageal Reflux, Acid Indigestion, Acid Reflux, and Heartburn. Reflux occurs when acids in the stomach flow back into the tube (esophagus) that connects your stomach to your mouth. When this backwash happens the acid reflux causes irritation in the lining of the esophagus, often leading to inflammation of the esophagus. It is not uncommon for people to experience acid reflux on occasion. However, if you find that you are experiencing reflux that is mild at least twice a week, or moderate to severe reflux at least once a week, then you could be suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
What symptoms may you experience?
If you are suffering from reflux then you know just how uncomfortable and painful reflux can be. There are a number of different symptoms that can be associated with reflux. One of the more common symptoms is a burning sensation in the chest, this is known as heartburn. Heartburn usually occurs after eating and can be more intense in the evening. Other symptoms can include chest pain, difficulty swallowing, food and/or liquid that comes back up in to the mouth, or the feeling of having a lump in your throat. In some cases patients might also experience nighttime reflux. This kind of reflux can result in a chronic cough, laryngitis, disrupted sleep, and new or worsening asthma symptoms. No matter what reflux indications you are experiencing we want to help.
