Common Symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Occasional heartburn does not mean you have GERD. In GERD, the reflux and heartburn last longer and occurs more often.

If you suffer from the following long-term symptoms, you should see your doctor:

  • A frequent uncomfortable feeling of burning, warmth, heat, or pain just behind the breastbone
  • A burning sensation after you eat
  • A sour taste in the back of your throat that sometimes causes nausea or vomiting
