What Is GERD?

6. Lump In Throat
If you have had some bad news, or you have been watching a sad movie, you might develop a lump in your throat. This is a sensation that makes you feel as though there is something physically in your esophagus at the back of the throat, even when there is not. It is sometimes caused by GERD.
In addition, a lot of people can experience a pain in the chest when they have GERD. This can be alarming the first time it happens because chest pains are often associated with heart problems and other severe conditions. It is probably not something serious, but you should get it checked out in case. If the chest pain is severe and you have other symptoms of heart problems, you should treat it as an emergency.
