Now, this will probably sound odd to you, because they’re often mistaken for the same thing, but one of the most common acid reflux symptoms is actually heartburn. This is a burning sensation in your chest that occurs after eating. It can last a number of hours and become worse if you lie down after a meal. The burning can also move up into the throat area, and can be accompanied by a sour taste in the mouth, as if food was rising from the stomach back to the throat.

Other acid reflux symptoms can include a dry, lingering cough; getting up in the morning with hoarseness; and the feeling that food is not properly going all the way down. These symptoms can become severe enough in some cases to cause vomiting.

If the disease progresses without treatment to the point of damage to the larynx, respiratory problems can develop and medical intervention becomes necessary. In addition, if scar tissue builds up in the esophagus, swallowing can become difficult.
