(Concern) Symptoms of reflux esophagitis include dry cough
2024.10.27 15:53
It's not like that every day after eating.
I feel a sensation of indigestion and a bit of tightness in my chest.
Especially on weekdays at work, those symptoms occur more frequently.
I saw on the internet that this is said to be related to reflux esophagitis.
I have never had reflux esophagitis.
Upper abdominal pain and the sensation of nausea or vomiting
Especially dry cough, this symptom is related to reflux esophagitis.
I saw an internet article,
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms and they say it becomes more dangerous if left untreated.
It's just too scary to leave it unattended.
◇Main symptoms are... heartburn, chest pain, dry cough
The most common symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease include heartburn, a persistent sensation of foreign material in the throat, chest pain, and dry cough. Additionally, persistent bad breath despite frequent brushing and excessive belching are also symptoms caused by stomach acid reflux.
◇ Risk of developing esophageal cancer if neglected
If reflux esophagitis is left untreated, various complications can occur. Ulcers may develop, and rarely, esophageal strictures can form. The particularly concerning complication is Barrett's esophagus. Due to continuous exposure to stomach acid, the squamous epithelium of the lower esophagus becomes inflamed and transforms into gastric mucosal cells, a condition known as Barrett's esophagus, which increases the risk of esophageal and stomach cancers. Barrett's esophagus is also classified as a precancerous stage of esophageal cancer. Therefore, if you experience symptoms of reflux esophagitis, prompt diagnosis and treatment are necessary.
