Probably: Acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is a condition in which stomach contents leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus. This can irritate the esophagus, causing heartburn and other symptoms including nausea, vomiting, difficult or painful swallowing, hoarseness, chronic cough and sore throat. Occasionally, pain from heart disease can feel like "heartburn", so be careful.
