Heartburn Gerd Causes, Symptoms & Treatments Questions
GERD is characterized by symptoms of pain/ burning (3 inches above the navel and may extend upward through the chest), excessive belching, burning belches, or abdominal discomfort.
Only a physician can truly identify GERD.
If the stomach acid comes up the esophagus, it could drain into the respiratory tract (windpipe/lungs). This has been known to cause coughing and even asthma.
