Describe clinical manifestations of GERD
Symptoms of GERD may include dysphagia, heartburn, increased salivation, and belching. In some situations, pain is severe and may radiate to the back, neck, or jaw. Pain from GERD can be confused with pain that is cardiac in origin because of the diffuse spread of pain into these other areas.
