🎙️ GERD / ACID REFLUX ♿️

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn, chest discomfort, a sour taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. While occasional acid reflux is common, frequent symptoms may indicate GERD and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating can help manage symptoms. Early treatment can improve quality of life and help prevent complications.
