Gerd is that inflamed burning sensation within your chest quickly following eating that is sometimes called reflux symptoms, probably simply because it could possibly feel like your heart is on fire. Certainly, its your esophagus which is ‘burning’, due to acidic fluids backwashing out of your stomach. Many people will encounter some kind of acid reflux disease in their lives, but for many it is a frequent event and falls under the category of Gastroesophogeal Reflux Disease. Cures for heartburn or acid reflux of this particular type sadly do not exist. Once you have been diagnosed with GERD you’re more than likely gonna have acid reflux symptoms for your whole existence.
