JOURNAL READINGS RELATED TO THE CASE

(Attach the photocopy of your journal reading)
Summary
An international consensus group has defined GERD as a condition that develops when reflux of
stomach contents causes troublesome symptoms with or without complications. Typical symptoms that
lead to the diagnosis of GERD are regurgitation and heartburn. As much as 16% of the US
population complains of regurgitation, and 6% report clinically troublesome heartburn. However,
while these symptoms are specific for the disease, they are insensitive markers of reflux. GERD
symptoms can worsen with lying recumbent, especially after meals.
Of note, dysphagia can be a symptom of uncomplicated GERD, but its presence warrants more
intensive examination and potential intervention, as it can be caused by strictures, rings, malignancy,
or esophageal dysmotility. Chest pain is another symptom often associated with GERD, but a cardiac
cause should be considered and ruled out before GERD is considered. Other symptoms of GERD
include dyspepsia, nausea, bloating, sore throat, globus sensation, and epigastric pain.
Reaction
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is mainly a clinical diagnosis based on typical symptoms of
heartburn and acid regurgitation as manifested by my patient. Current guidelines indicate that
patients with typical symptoms should first try a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). If reflux symptoms
persist after 8 weeks on a PPI, endoscopy of the esophagus is recommended, with biopsies taken to
rule out eosinophilic esophagitis. The key point here is the diagnosis of GERD is mainly symptom-
based and often does not require endoscopic confirmation. Endoscopy is warranted in patients with
red-flag symptoms such as dysphagia, anemia, weight loss, bleeding, and recurrent vomiting. PPIs
are the first-line medical therapy. Histamine 2 receptor antagonists are mainly used to treat
breakthrough nocturnal symptoms. Endoscopic and surgical options exist but are pursued only if
medical therapy fails.
