Acid Reflux GERD Acidity and Heartburn

Acid reflux disease, also known as GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), is a common condition in which stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the food pipe. Patients may experience heartburn, chest discomfort, sour regurgitation, throat irritation, chronic cough, or difficulty swallowing. Untreated reflux can lead to esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and even esophageal cancer. Comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment help achieve lasting symptom relief.
