Here are more signs and symptons: • Persistent heartburn • Difficult or painful swallowing • Acidic or bitter taste in mouth • Non-cardiac chest pain • Coughing • Wheezing • Hoarseness • Sore throat


The long term risks associated with this disease are complex with many degrees of severity,
ranging from symptoms only to erosive esophagitis,
which occurs when acid reflux damages the linings of your esophagus.
