Heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD, but some people have other symptoms as well, including the following:
- Nighttime heartburn
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Nausea/vomiting
- Trouble swallowing
- Feeling that food is "stuck" in the esophagus
- Acid taste in mouth
- Laryngitis

Untreated, GERD may lead to serious complications.
