Although typical symptoms of GERD include heartburn, regurgitation and dysphagia, patients can be affected by a broad spectrum of symptoms. Chronic GERD can ultimately lead to more serious complications such as esophagitis, esophageal strictures, Barrett’s esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and pulmonary diseases.
