NORTH ADAMS — Millions of Americans reach for Tums or other antacids every day for relief from heartburn. But that common ailment could be a sign of the more serious acid reflux disease, which affects some 10 million Americans.
Acid reflux symptoms include a sour or acidic feeling in the mouth, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, coughing and, most commonly, a burning sensation in the front of the chest. Acid reflux can cause teeth erosion and difficulty sleeping, and asthma in children,
Dr. Chi Zhang, a gastroenterologist at North Adams Regional Hospital since 2004, said 14 percent of Americans claim to suffer from reflux once a week, 7 percent twice a week and 4 percent every day.
