This can be caused by lower esophageal sphincter relaxation, impaired expulsion of gastric reflux from the esophagus, or a hiatal hernia.
Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, medications and surgery.

M$• When stomach acid travels back (refluxes) into your esophagus is known as acid reflux.
• When this acid comes in contact with the lining of your esophagus, you will feel a burning sensation.
• GERD is a more chronic condition than heartburn. You will have continuous symptoms (unlike heartburn that occurs two or more days a week).
