Acid Reflux is Not Always Heartburn

Heartburn isn’t the only sign of acid reflux. Many people experience symptoms they don’t immediately connect to digestive issues, like:

✅ Persistent cough or sore throat
✅ Hoarseness or voice changes
✅ Bad breath that won’t go away
✅ A sour or bitter taste in the mouth

These “silent” symptoms can be easy to overlook but may point to underlying acid reflux or GERD.
Early evaluation can help prevent long-term damage to your esophagus and improve your quality of life.
