A member asked:

If you have frequent indigestion due to stress do you have gord?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You could: I just don't know what your definition of indigestion is though/symptoms you are having that you call indigestion. GERD is a malfunction of the muscle that keeps the junction between your esophagus and your stomach closed when there is no food/fluids coming down from your mouth. It typically causes a burning sensation in your chest/upper abdomen.
