Symptoms of GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE
The most common symptom is a burning pain in the chest. Occasionally the pain may radiate to the neck or arms. Difficult, painful swallowing can occur, especially in chronic situations. People may notice the regurgitation of food in particular positions. Lying down and bending forward are the most problematic. Cough, hoarseness, and wheezing can occur, if the regurgitated contents enter the lungs or irritate the vocal cords. Gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to the development of snoring.
