Gastroesophageal reflux:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
GERD doesn’t always cause symptoms, and in patients showing clinical effects, it isn’t always possible to confirm physiologic reflux. The most common feature of GERD is heartburn, which may become more severe with vigorous exercise, bending, or lying down, and may be relieved by antacids or sitting upright. The pain of esophageal spasm resulting from reflux esophagitis tends to be chronic and may mimic angina pectoris, radiating to the neck, jaws, and arms.
Other symptoms include odynophagia, which may be followed by a dull substernal ache from severe, long-term reflux; dysphagia from esophageal spasm, stricture, or esophagitis; and bleeding (bright red or dark brown). Rarely, nocturnal regurgitation wakens the patient with coughing, choking, and a mouthful of saliva. Reflux may be associated with hiatal hernia. Direct hiatal hernia becomes clinically significant only when reflux is confirmed.
Pulmonary symptoms result from reflux of gastric contents into the throat and subsequent aspiration; they include chronic pulmonary disease or nocturnal wheezing, bronchitis, asthma, morning hoarseness, and cough. In children, other signs consist of failure to thrive and forceful vomiting from esophageal irritation. Such vomiting sometimes causes aspiration pneumonia.

Vesicoureteral reflux:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Vesicoureteral reflux typically manifests itself as the signs and symptoms of UTI: frequency, urgency, burning on urination, hematuria, foul-smelling urine and, in infants, dark, concentrated urine. With upper urinary tract involvement, signs and symptoms usually include high fever, chills, flank pain, vomiting, and malaise.
PEDIATRIC TIP In children, fever, nonspecific abdominal pain, and diarrhea may be the only clinical effects. Rarely, children with minimal symptoms remain undiagnosed until puberty or later, when they begin to exhibit clear signs of renal impairment (anemia, hypertension, and lethargy).

Gastroesophageal reflux:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
Gastroesophageal reflux doesn’t always cause symptoms. The most common features of this disorder are indigestion and heartburn, which may become more severe 30 to 60 minutes after meals and on reclining and with vigorous exercise, bending, or lying down and which may be relieved by antacids or sitting upright.
The pain of esophageal spasm resulting from reflux esophagitis tends to be chronic and may mimic that of angina pectoris, radiating to the neck, jaws, and arms.
