What's the difference between GERD and Acid Reflux? Sorry, I don't know much about any of this. I didn't even think I had Acid Reflux because when I looked it up I didn't think I had a lot of the symptoms, like the sour stomach, sour taste in the mouth, etc. Just the nausea and small burps throughout the day.
Today is the first day I've experienced chest pain like this. I took an antacid about a half hour. Still hasn't kicked in yet. Is there anything else I can do?
What you describe is common with Acid Reflux. However, if what you describe here is correct, you may be developing an issue with GERD (small burps, nausea). You'll want to get this investigated by a professional, to make sure it's not something more serious.
Good luck.
