Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disways (GERD), also called acid reflux, is a long-term condition in which the stomach contents the esophagus, leading to symptoms or problems. Symptoms include acid taste in the back of the mouth, heartbeat, bad breath, chest pain, re-breathing, respiratory problems and tooth decay. Complications include esophagitis, esophageal stiffness, and Barrett's esophagus. Risk factors include obesity, pregnancy, smoking, hiatal hernia, and taking certain medications. Affective drugs may include antihistamines, calcium blockers, antidepressants and sleeping pills. Acid Reflux is due to partial closure of the lower esophageal sphincter, which is located in the border between the stomach and esophagus. Diagnosis among those who do not develop in simple ways may include gastroscopy, high-GI series, population-based monitoring, or esophageal manometry.
