Heartburn or acid reflux is formally known as Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and refers to the repeated exposure of the esophagus to gastric contents leading to the feeling of burning and pain in the upper chest region. Other symptoms can include a chronic cough, hoarseness, nausea and frequent burping. GERD can be caused by many factors including poor esophageal sphincter tone, obesity, age, medications, stress, low stomach acid and specific foods. Long term untreated acid reflux can lead to a condition called Barrett’s Esophagus which in turn is a primary risk factor for esophageal cancer.

Colds can be caused by more than two hundred different viruses that infect upper respiratory tract. Cold viruses are spread through the air, by sneezing, coughing or touching a contaminated object.

This results in congestion, sneezing, sore throat, coughing and fatigue – which are all ways that your body tries to expel the virus.
