Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) does not make you feel early fullness with meal or heaviness in the epigastric area. Those symptoms are more common with acute gastritis (caused by food poisoning, viral or bacterial infection). Symptoms of acute gastritis are usually self limited, quick relief with antacid. GERD sx are usually precipitated by flat supine position right after a full meal.
