Welcome to Acid Reflux Blog
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (backs up or refluxes) into the esophagus. The liquid can inflame and damage the lining (cause, cause esophagitis) of the esophagus although visible signs of inflammation occur in a minority of patients.

This condition is known as gastro esophageal reflux (GERD). This is caused due to incomplete closure of lower oesophageal sphincter that separates the oesophagus from stomach. During night time when you are sleeping acid contents from stomach reflexes in to the throat. This causes irritation of the upper oesophageal sphincter causing a sensation of lump in the throat. You need specific treatment for this condition.

Hi craigdwarner,
This symptom is not rare if you suffer from acid reflux. What happens is that stomach acid is hurting your oesophagus and troat specially when you are sleeping. The result is pharyngitis.
The secret is to prevent stomach juice to get back in your troat and oesophagus. You can learn more by visiting this website:
