Reflux Symptoms
Reflux disease, and other upper GI disorders, can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Many people can have reflux and no symptoms at all. Often they can occur suddenly but in most are long-standing and slowly progressive. Some people will have symptoms confined to the stomach and oesophagus (intestinal symptoms), some the throat (LPR) and some the airways and lungs (Respiratory). Some will have just one symptom, for instance heartburn or a cough, and others a multitude of different problems.

Correctly diagnosing the cause of your symptoms is the single most important part of the treatment process. Our approach to diagnosing acid and non-acidic reflux is fundamentally different. We make it our mission to find the causes of your symptoms and to give you the certainty you need to make decisions about your future treatment. We'll listen to your description of your symptoms and then make an assessment of the tests we'll need to do in order to confirm the cause and give you a diagnosis.
