GERD: Physical Symptoms, Causes and Management

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder that affects millions of people across the globe.

The most common symptom of GERD is heartburn – a burning sensation that you may feel in your chest, radiating towards your throat and mouth. Everyone gets heartburn from time to time, but experiencing it very often may sometimes be a sign of GERD.

Heartburn is a result of acid reflux — when stomach acid flows back up from your stomach, irritating your oesophagus, or food pipe. You may also have a bitter or sour taste in the mouth.

In addition to these common symptoms of GERD, there are also less common, or atypical symptoms, which we will detail in this article.

Keep reading to learn how GERD causes these symptoms and how the condition can affect several parts of your body, beyond your oesophagus.
