Gastric Acid Reflux Symptoms

Gastric Acid Reflux Symptoms

There are a number of symptoms that a person may experience
with Gastric Acid Reflux:

"Patients with GERD can exhibit various symptoms, both typical
and atypical. Typical symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation,
and dysphagia. Atypical symptoms include noncardiac chest pain,
asthma, pneumonia, hoarseness, and aspiration. Patients typically
have numerous daily episodes of symptomatic reflux, including
pyrosis, water brash or sour taste in the mouth, nighttime coughing
or aspiration, pneumonia or pneumonitis, bronchospasm, and
laryngitis and voice changes, including hoarseness."

Every day, the digestive system is being used due
to regular food and liquid intake. When food and drinks
are induced, it goes through a passage called the
esophagus that helps breakdown the food. When food reaches
its destination of the stomach, acid and pepsin is released
to help aid in the process of digestion.

If and ever a problem in the digestive system occur, many
people often grab an over the counter medication to aid with
digestive problems such as gastric acid reflux.

This is a common digestive disease that most people have
neglected getting to the bottom of. This digestive disease
or disorder occurs when the esophagus is irritated by the
acid regurgitating to the stomach while acid is being seeped
back up into the esophagus and throat.
