Could gerd cause swallowing problems?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Although gerd most commonly presents with hearburn and regurgitation, some patients will experience pain, difficulty swallowing, and pain with swallowing. Longstanding gerd may cause erosions or narrowing of the esophagus. These symptoms should be evaluated by a physician and may require further diagnostic testing.
