A member asked:
Is gerd basically just acid reflux that lasts a long time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Essentially, yes.: Most people experience heartburn on an infrequent basis. People with Gerd experience it frequently. If you have frequent heartburn,you may need to follow anti-reflux measures and perhaps take medication to keep it under control. Good luck.
