Request an AppointmentWhat Is GERD?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive condition that occurs when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the esophagus. This backflow of acid, commonly called acid reflux, can irritate the lining of the esophagus and cause ongoing discomfort.
Common GERD symptoms may include heartburn, difficulty swallowing, regurgitation of food or liquid, chest discomfort, or the feeling of a lump in the throat. Some people also experience symptoms primarily at night, known as nighttime acid reflux, which may lead to chronic coughing, worsening asthma symptoms, hoarseness, or disrupted sleep.
Telehealth Treatment for Acid Reflux
Managing GERD often involves a combination of lifestyle adjustments and medication to reduce stomach acid and prevent irritation of the esophagus. During your telehealth visit, our provider will review your symptoms, discuss your health history, and recommend appropriate treatment options.
Many patients find relief through dietary changes, weight management, and over-the-counter medications. In some cases, prescription medications may be recommended to better control symptoms and improve digestive health.
If you are experiencing ongoing heartburn or symptoms of acid reflux, our team at LA Medical Care can help you find an effective treatment plan through a convenient online consultation.
