What Is GERD-Acid Reflux:
Heartburn is the most common symptom associated with acid reflux or Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The esophageal sphincter is a kind of valve located at the end of the esophagus and opens during the intake to let food into the stomach. Then the muscle contracts rapidly to prevent food and stomach juices back into the esophagus.
Heartburn is a burning pain behind the breastbone, which can extend upward toward the neck. Sometimes food or liquids back to the throat or mouth with a sour taste and burning, especially when you bend or lie down.
In some cases, a hiatal hernia can cause heartburn, but that is not always the case: Some people with hiatal hernia have no heartburn. Acid Reflux may not be a serious problem, because almost everyone has experienced it at some point in their life– especially after heavy meals, overeating, or greasy meals.
Acid reflux is very common also in pregnant women. However, when it occurs too often or too severe, it can affect the quality of life and trigger more serious problems. According to the Cleveland Clinic untreated GERD can result in long term complications such as:
- Esophagitis ~
- Barrett’s esophagus
- Strictures
- Esophagel cancer
Barrett’s esophagus. Barrett’s esophagus is a condition that develops in some people (about 10%) who have long-term GERD. It is a risk factor for cancer of the esophagus. Damage from acid reflux can cause abnormal changes in the lining of the esophagus.
What causes GERD-Acid Reflux

These include alterations in renal function, effects on blood pressure, hepatic injury and platelet inhibition which may result in increased bleeding. However, the most important adverse effects of NSAIDs and COX-2 inhibitors are the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse effects, respectively.
The deleterious gastrointestinal effects of NSAIDs are cause for concern because of their frequency and seriousness. Recent clinical trials have also demonstrated an apparent increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events in patients taking COX-2 inhibitors.10 This section will focus on the evidence of the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse effects of NSAIDs [3][/box]
