Johns Hopkins Medicine answered:The most common symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease are frequent heartburn and regurgitation of sour or bitter liquid, sometimes mixed with food. If you have these two symptoms, your doctor can typically diagnose you and start treatment without the need for any other tests.
Other relatively common symptoms include chest pain, that may simulate heart trouble, and the feeling that food is sticking to your esophagus. Less often, GERD may cause throat burning, coughing, asthma, hoarseness, belching, or recurrent lung infections (like bronchitis).

Common symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are heartburn and/or acid regurgitation. Heartburn is a burning sensation felt behind the breast bone that occurs when stomach contents irritate the normal lining of the esophagus. Acid regurgitation is the sensation of stomach fluid coming up through the chest which may reach the mouth. Less common symptoms that may also be associated with gastroesophageal reflux include unexplained chest pain, wheezing, sore throat and cough, among others.Common symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are heartburn and/or acid regurgitation.

Dr. Michael T Murray answered:Symptoms of nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD) include symptoms of GERD (heartburn and/or upper abdominal pain), as well as difficulty swallowing, feelings of pressure or heaviness after eating, sensations of bloating after eating, stomach or abdominal pains and cramps, and all of the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). About three of ten patients with NUD also meet the criteria for IBS.

Healthwise answered:The main symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) include:
- Persistent heartburn. Heartburn is an uncomfortable feeling or burning pain behind the breastbone. It may occur after you eat, soon after you lie down or when you bend forward. Some people have GERD without heartburn.
- A sour or bitter taste in the mouth. The backflow of stomach acid and juices into the esophagus may cause this sour or bitter taste.
Heartburn caused by GERD is usually felt within 2 hours after you eat. If your heartburn lasts for several hours -- for example, all night -- you may have severe GERD.
Other symptoms of GERD may include:
- Chest pain. This may be a dull, heavy discomfort that spreads across the chest. This chest pain may occur with heartburn and may be confused with the pain of a heart attack.
- Hoarseness.
- Trouble swallowing. This is more common with advanced GERD.
- A feeling that you have something stuck in your throat.
- A cough.
- Having extra saliva.
- Nausea.
