Description
Three out of every 10 people experience heartburn on occasion, so it can be somewhat arbitrary to decide when heartburn should be called acid reflux disease. Also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease GERD, acid reflux disease is a chronic irritation of the lining of a person`s esophagus by stomach acid. Usually, it`s just annoying. GERD can, however, have serious consequences, including esophagitis and Barrett`s esophagus. Barrett`s esophagus is a condition that increases the likelihood of esophageal cancer.
