LET’S GET STARTED

Symptoms

  • Difficulty swallowing is considered an alarm symptom. If you experience difficulty swallowing, see your doctor as soon as possible. After you download your personal report, click on the topic swallowing issues on the first page to learn more.
  • These symptoms indicate that you may have a condition know as LPR. In people with LPR, the refluxed contents of the stomach make their way into the upper airway, causing symptoms like hoarseness and chronic cough. While the condition is managed much the same as GERD, LPR symptoms don't often respond well to acid reducing medications. After you download your personal report, click on the topic atypical symptoms on the first page to learn more.
  • Long-term symptoms increase the likelihood of complications. Our medical advisors suggest any one experiencing symptoms for more that ten years see a GERD expert to rule out complications. After you download your personal report, click on the topic long-term symptoms on the first page to learn more.

    Medications

  • Diagnosis

  • While we will provide an estimated stage based on your symptoms and use of medications, it's impossible to know whether or not you have GERD unless you see a doctor. Far too many people self-diagnose and self-treat the symptoms of GERD. Unfortunately, many of them don't actually have GERD and are taking powerful medications that carry the risk of side effects and long-term complications that they don't even need. Your symptoms are a sign from your body that something is wrong. See your doctor to discuss any recurring symptoms you have.
  • While primary care physicians are the first line of defense against GERD, only a specialist can perform the testing necessary to definitively diagnose GERD. If you are struggling to control your symptoms or are concerned about the long-term use of medications, then it's time to seek the help of a GERD expert.
