Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition in which stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and inflammation. This can lead to symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Today, in this episode of the GERD podcast, we’re spotlighting a condition that affects millions worldwide yet often lurks in the shadows of discomfort.
Join the PACE Hospitals Podcast with Dr M. Sudhir - Senior Consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist at PACE Hospitals, Hitech City, Hyderabad, India, to unravel the mysteries of GERD and gain practical insights into managing and overcoming this often overlooked condition.
