Symptoms Of Acid Reflux Disease
What is the most common symptom?
When you had a great amount of food as meal, there is great chance heartburn to appear. It is burning feeling of great discomfort in the close area of heart, starting from lower esophagus, moving up on the way to neck and throat. The burning can last for several hours and is often the worst after meals. Having heartburn every now and then isn't necessarily acid reflux or a health "problem". But, when heartburn is frequent (two or more times a week) or accompanied by other symptoms (food sticking in the throat, blood loss, or weight loss), that's when acid reflux becomes the diagnosis. Some people even taste the sour stomach acid in the back of the throat.
What are the other symptoms of acid reflux?
Besides heartburn, other common symptoms of acid reflux can include:
For many women, their first introduction to heartburn is their last few months of pregnancy. But there is a good explanation for this. The growing baby presses on the stomach, which can cause backward flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. The bad news is this type of heartburn is often resistant to dietary changes and even antacids. The good news is, once the baby is born, the problem with heartburn most often disappears.
