What are the causes and symptoms of acid reflux? Is there a chance of inflammation in the neck region due to acid reflux?

Asked by Male, 40 · 3 months ago

Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus (food pipe), often due to a weak lower esophageal sphincter, obesity, or certain dietary and lifestyle habits. Common symptoms include heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. Acid reflux can also sometimes irritate the pharynx (throat) and larynx (voice box), which may lead to inflammation in the neck region, a condition known as laryngopharyngeal reflux.
