Chest Pain Gerd
The presence of mutual symptoms, such as heartburn and regurgitation, normally make the diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux impairment of normal physiological function (GERD) reasonably straightforward. However, extraesophageal sensations or changes of GERD, such as asthma, noncardiac chest pain, and hoarseness, are often times not recognized and consequently are poorly managed. This article sheds light on the atypical manifestations of GERD as well as current approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
