GERD or acid reflux symptoms are caused by the regurgitation of acidic liquid stomach contents back up into the esophagus. The most common symptom of GERD is heartburn. Other symptoms that can occur as a result of GERD include: nausea, regurgitation, acid-induced erosions of the teeth, nausea, chronic cough,
These symptoms are known. as the extra-esophageal symptoms of reflux and include manifestations such as asthma, laryngitis, chronic cough, halitosis (bad breath), and even sleep disorders. These symptoms are much more. commonly caused by GERD than had been previously recognized. For instance, up to 30% of. chronic cough patients have GERD as a reason for their cough. Furthermore, up to half of those. with an extraesophageal manifestation of reflux will not have heartburn. This means their. physicians will not have a helpful clue that their symptom is caused by GERD.
