Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic digestive condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, the tube connecting your mouth and stomach. GERD is more than just occasional acid reflux; it's a long-term condition that can lead to more serious complications if left untreated.

Symptoms of GERD

Symptoms

Regurgitation
Heartburn
Difficulty swallowing
Chronic cough

CAUSES:

  • Weak Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES): The LES is a ring of muscle at the end of the esophagus that acts as a valve between the esophagus and stomach. If this valve weakens or relaxes abnormally, it can allow stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.

  • Hiatal Hernia: A condition where part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, contributing to acid reflux.

  • Lifestyle Factors: Obesity, smoking, and a diet high in fatty or spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol can increase the risk of GERD.

  • Pregnancy: Hormonal changes and increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy can contribute to GERD.

  • Medications: Certain medications, such as antihistamines, calcium channel blockers, and painkillers, can relax the LES or irritate the esophagus, worsening GERD symptoms.
