Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is typically marked by heartburn after meals and other times that can last up to two hours. Reflux often feels like food is coming back up into the mouth. A bitter aftertaste is common after reflux, and excessive saliva may be produced. Symptoms often become worse when a person lies down, because this prevents gravity from keeping fluids from refluxing. In some people with GERD, no symptoms are present. This is known as “silent reflux.”
Other less common symptoms associated with GERD include:
Stomach pain
Belching a sour-tasting liquid
Food or blood regurgitation
Dull, heavy discomfort in the chest and/or throat
Hiccups
Vomiting or nausea
Blood in vomit
Hoarseness or change in voice
Sore throat
Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), painful swallowing (odynophagia), food getting stuck or sense of lump in the throat
Coughing
Wheezing
Black, tarry stools
Bad breath
Chronic sinusitis or pneumonia
Asthma that occurs at night
Waking up with a choking sensation
