Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus. This can irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn and other symptoms.Common symptoms of GERD include:

Feeling that food is stuck behind the breastbone
Heartburn or a burning pain in the chest
Nausea after eating
Less common symptoms are:

Bringing food back up (regurgitation)
Cough or wheezing
Difficulty swallowing
Hiccups
Hoarseness or change in voice
Sore throat
Symptoms may get worse when you bend over or lie down, or when you eat. Symptoms may also be worse at night."
