Heartburn occurs when stomach acid escapes and flows up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in your chest and throat.

What is GERD? What are the symptoms?

GERD is a digestive disorder that occurs when the small muscular opening at the end of your esophagus that leads to your stomach is not working properly, allowing stomach acid to be released.

Symptoms for heartburn include:

• Heartburn relief

• Hoarseness

• Nausea

• Pain when swallowing

• Persistent sore throat
