Prolonged acid reflux may cause esophagitis, esophageal ulcers and even esophageal cancer, so it should not go unnoticed.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus through the benign tract, resulting in symptoms such as tightness in the chest, burning in the chest (commonly known as heartburn), and vomiting of stomach acid. Some people may even experience symptoms similar to shortness of breath, which is a fairly common condition, mainly due to the esophageal sphincter (IAA) muscle. This is a disease that occurs when the stomach acid does not function properly and is unable to keep the acid out of the esophagus. Because chronic acid reflux can cause esophagitis, esophageal ulcers and even esophageal cancer, it is important to pay attention to this condition.
