Heartburn or Gastroesophageal Disease?
When you start feeling a burning sensation in your chest that irritates you and sometimes causes great discomfort, you want to evaluate it to see if you’ve become a victim of gastroesophageal disease (GERD) or just experiencing a simple bout of heartburn.
Almost everyone encounters heartburn at least once in his or her life. Maybe it was that spicy meal they ate too late at night, or the fact that they’re carrying twins and are in the late stages of pregnancy.
But for some, the burn never eases, and what was originally thought to be heartburn is turned into a disease that can wreak havoc on your life – emotionally and physically, causing sleep deprivation and misery on a daily basis.
Sometimes an over-the-counter medication can remedy the problem, but if it continues, you may need stronger solutions to battle your GERD symptoms. One of the biggest determiners of finding out if you have heartburn or GERD is the frequency of your symptoms.
