Disease description:

Because the pressure inside the abdomen continuously increases, it leads to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I'm not sure what symptoms may occur—what are the symptoms of acid reflux esophagitis?

Gastroesophageal reflux esophagitis may cause symptoms such as a burning sensation in the esophagus and throat, vomiting, and nausea. After consuming irritating or spicy foods, there is often significant pain behind the breastbone. In severe cases, tarry or black stools may appear, usually due to bleeding from the lower esophagus or gastric fundus. Regardless of symptom severity, timely and appropriate treatment should be sought promptly to prevent the condition from worsening.
