There's no need to be scared...
...if you suspect this issue, see your doctor, and you can discuss treatment options such as lifestyle/ diet changes and medication.
Here are the symptoms copied from the GERD Resources:
What are some symptoms of GERD?
The four major symptoms of GERD are:
Heartburn (uncomfortable, rising, burning sensation behind the breastbone).
Regurgitation of gastric acid or sour contents into the mouth.
Difficult and/or painful swallowing.
Chest pain.
Heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD. In some patients it may be accompanied by other GERD symptoms, such as regurgitation of gastric contents into the mouth, chest pain and difficulty swallowing. Pulmonary manifestations, such as asthma, coughing, or intermittent wheezing and vocal cord inflammation with hoarseness, occur in some GERD patients.
