The characteristic symptoms of acid reflux disease are a burning pain behind the breastbone (heartburn), which radiate from the bottom up. They occur especially at night when the person is in bed.
This acidic gastric juice can easily move up into the esophagus.
Other Signs of Acid Reflux Disease Are:
Pressure sensation behind the breastbone
belching
difficulty swallowing
Backflow of food debris
Nausea and vomiting
Salty or soapy taste in the mouth by belching
Heartburn (burning pain behind the breastbone)
The stomach acid can also get into the airways and lead to sinus infections (sinusitis), throat infections (pharyngitis) and hoarseness, chronic bronchitis, cough and bronchial asthma.
