is the most common symptom of GERD, but patients may also experience acid regurgitation into the esophagus, dyspepsia (stomach pain) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). GERD affects all age groups, although the incidence increases markedly after the age of 40. If left untreated, complications of GERD can include esophageal erosions or ulcers and abnormal narrowing of the esophagus. Years of chronic heartburn, left untreated, can lead to esophageal cancer, currently the fastest growing cancer in the United States. NGERD is the occurrence of GERD at night, typically while lying down to sleep. Symptoms associated with stomach reflux are exacerbated by the lack of assistance from gravity while lying recumbent. NGERD is commonly associated with a higher risk and a higher degree of esophagitis; acid remains in the esophagus for prolonged periods because there is less swallowing and less saliva produced to neutralize the acid. It is estimated that approximately one-third of patients suffering from NGERD experience symptoms that are uncontrolled by current therapies.
