5. Painful Swallowing

Also called dysphagia, damage and healing caused by acid reflux can result in scarring. This causes the lower esophagus tissues to swell, making it difficult to swallow. Reportedly, 7% to 9% of adults over the age of 50 suffer from this condition. Swallowing food can become an extremely difficult and painful process.
