Reflux Symptoms
Reflux disease, and other upper GI disorders, can cause a wide variety of symptoms and problems which affect people to a wide variety of degrees. Often they can occur suddenly but in most are long-standing and slowly progressive. Some people will have symptoms confined to the stomach and oesophagus (intestinal symptoms), some the throat (LPR or 'silent reflux') and some the airways and lungs (respiratory). Some will have just one symptom, for instance heartburn or a cough, and others a multitude of different problems. While others can have reflux and no signs or symptoms at all.
