Symptoms of GORD

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a common condition where acid from the stomach leaks up into the oesophagus (gullet). Symptoms of GORD can vary from mild to severe, and in some cases, can be life-threatening.

Common Symptoms

The most common symptoms of GORD include heartburn (burning sensation in the chest), regurgitation (bringing up small amounts of acid), difficulty swallowing and chest pain. Less common symptoms include sore throat, cough, hoarseness, bad breath and a sour taste in the mouth.

Severe Symptoms

In some cases, GORD can cause more serious complications, such as bleeding, ulcers, narrowing of the oesophagus and increased risk of oesophageal cancer. Severe symptoms of GORD can include:

- Unintentional weight loss
- Vomiting blood
- Choking
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty swallowing

When to Seek Medical Help

If you experience any of the above symptoms, it's important to seek medical help. Your doctor will be able to diagnose GORD and advise on the best treatment plan for you.

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a digestive disorder where acid from the stomach flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. Alarming symptoms of GORD include severe chest pain, difficulty swallowing, persistent coughing, wheezing, and hoarseness. In severe cases, GORD can cause bleeding, weight loss, and anaemia. It is important to seek medical attention if these symptoms are experienced as they can be indicative of a more serious medical condition.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD) is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which allows food and acid to flow back up into the esophagus. Commonly referred to as acid reflux, GORD can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms, including heartburn, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and even regurgitation.

When left untreated, GORD can lead to more serious complications, such as a narrowing of the esophagus, esophagitis, and Barrett's esophagus. To prevent these complications, it's important to recognize the warning signs and symptoms of GORD so that you can seek medical treatment.

The most common and alarming symptom of GORD is heartburn. This is a burning sensation in the chest or throat caused by stomach acid refluxing up into the esophagus. Other symptoms of GORD include chest pain, difficulty swallowing, a sour taste in the mouth, excessive burping or belching, and regurgitation. Symptoms may vary in severity from mild to severe, and can occur on a daily basis.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention. The doctor may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to help reduce the symptoms of GORD. If left untreated, GORD can lead to more serious complications, such as esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, and even cancer. Therefore, it's important to recognize the warning signs and symptoms of GORD and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
