These are the most common GERD symptoms.
What are the most common GERD symptoms affecting people? Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms include heartburn, a burning sensation in the chest often occurring after eating and worsening at night, and regurgitation, where a sour or bitter-tasting acid backs up into the throat or mouth. Individuals may experience dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), chest pain that can be mistaken for heart issues, and a chronic cough, especially at night.
