GERD (Acid Reflux)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort. It's often related to diet, obesity, or a weakened valve between the stomach and esophagus, and is typically managed with lifestyle changes and acid-reducing medication.
