More Than 6 Million Hispanics in the United States Suffer From Acid Reflux Disease, Yet Most Are Unaware of its Seriousness, According to a New Survey

6.1 million Hispanics in the United States suffer from acid reflux disease(1), however a survey sponsored by AstraZeneca that was conducted in five U.S. cities with large Hispanic density, reveals that more than sixty percent (66%) of Hispanics are not familiar with common terms to describe the condition known as acid reflux. According to the new survey, although Hispanics are familiar with the symptoms of acid reflux, they don’t know that these symptoms may be part of a potentially more serious medical problem.

Suffering frequent symptoms of acid reflux, may not only affect everyday productivity and sleep, but can also cause potentially serious damage to the esophagus if not treated properly.
