Chronic heartburn, or GERD, affects about 10 percent of the U.S. population, often leading to symptoms like sleeplessness, sore throat, and dental issues. While many dismiss it as a minor inconvenience, recent studies highlight its serious implications, including an elevated risk of esophagitis, throat ulcers, and esophageal cancer. This growing awareness has brought GERD into the media spotlight, emphasizing the need for better understanding and management of the condition.
