Acid reflux β often called heartburn β occurs when acid from the stomach refluxes flows back into the esophagus. This can cause discomfort and may damage the lining of the esophagus. Sometimes patients can have non-erosive reflux disease of which findings at endoscopy appear normal.
This can be further evaluated with a wireless pH probe BRAVO which is placed during the endoscopic procedure allowing us to better accurately make a diagnosis. Having difficulty swallowing is referred to as dysphagia and may be a symptom of GERD, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or acid reflux disease. Dysphagia affects your esophagus, the tubular organ that carries food content from your mouth to your stomach.
It may cause pain, tightness or a sticky feeling in your throat and chest. Some patients also complain of trouble breathing. It can range from mild benign fatty liver to inflammation and scarring of the liver, occasionally resulting in cirrhosis. The primary risk factors for the disease include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol especially high triglycerides , and family history. Patients consuming moderate to heavy amounts of alcohol have findings very similar to NAFLD, so patients must stop drinking if the condition is identified.
