A member asked:

Can gerd cause pain in throat and tightness in the throat??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Reflux disease involves many symptoms. These include the effect of movement of gastric acid/contents anywhere between the entrance to the stomach back up into the nasal cavity. This may trigger pain in those sites.
