Acid Reflux symptoms are varied, and can range from a harsh burning sensation in the upper abdomen that radiates through the chest and into the throat and neck, to belching and a nauseous sensation.

All symptoms above can mean Gastroesohageal Reflux Disease or GERD.

This is a condition in which stomach reflux or acids surge upward to the esophagus.
Other symptoms can include vomiting, difficulty in swallowing, chronic coughing or wheezing, hoarseness, sore throat, or even sleeping difficulty.

If you are suffering from heartburn the first thing you should do is take a good look at the foods you are consuming.
Over consumption of fatty foods and refined carbohydrates like biscuits, cakes and white bread can affect digestion and and cause reflux symptoms.
Other irritants include salt, spices, sugar, curries, coffee, fizzy drinks and alcohol.
If you feel that you are not over indulging in any of these foods, and reflux symptoms persist, see your doctor, as untreated gastric reflux can damage the esophagus and even lead to cancer in extreme cases.
Doctors can now conduct an impedance pH test which will determine whether your reflux is acid or not.
