Persistent heartburn demands immediate attention.
Almost everyone has heartburn sometimes, suffering from the painful, uncomfortable feeling it
causes in the chest or throat. But your heartburn may be alerting you to a more serious
condition. Persistent heartburn is the most common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux
disease, or GERD, also known as acid reflux. A common digestive disorder affecting millions of
Americans, acid reflux can impact the simplest daily activities, preventing you from eating the
foods you love or keeping you up at night. But more importantly, if ignored or not effectively
treated, it can cause permanent damage to your esophagus, leading to more threatening health
problems such as bleeding, ulcers, scarring - even cancer.
If you experience persistent heartburn, contact your doctor or Goshen Acid Reflux Center to
determine if it’s a result of acid reflux and to discover the steps you can take to find relief.

and treatment of acid reflux, combining highly skilled physicians and the latest technology to

severe damage to your health.
