Gastro Esophageal Reflux
Disease (GERD) or 'Acid
Reflux' is an abnormal reflux
(Backflow) of gastric contents
into the esophagus, creating a
mucosal damage. This disease
strikes adult, while infants
and children can be affected.
Eating certain foods, obesity,
pregnancy, or sleeping right
after eating a heavy meal can
cause acid reflux from time to
time. Heartburn or acid
indigestion is another name
for acid reflux causes a
burning uneasiness at the back
of the sternum. The symptoms
may come as coughing, voice
transformation, hoarseness,
constant ear ache, or
sinusitis. The complications
brought upon by acid reflux
may lead to esophageal ulcers
or worse this can lead to
esophageal cancer. However,
constant heartburn does not
necessarily mean that one has
GERD already. The risk occurs
when heartburn happened more
than once a week, and could
develope into GERD. For more
