Abstract

 GERD is the most common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in clinical practice. It is more than Heartburn, which is one of the several complaints. Patients can also suffer from regurgitation, nausea, cough , sore throat, hiccups, chest pain, sleep disturbances etc... which not only significantly impair the quality of life but also pose diagnostic challenges resulting in poor management. The detailed characterization of the various symptoms and their link with clinical and epidemiological profile (Age, Body mass index, lifestyle etc.) would help physicians to better individualized and adaptive management options enabling good therapeutic response.
