GPhC Exam Marathon Answer 11

A is the correct answer here. The pain of GORD is caused by the acid contents of the stomach leaking ‘backwards’ into the oesophagus. The symptoms arising are typically described as heartburn, which is pain arising in the upper abdomen passing upwards behind the breastbone. See a responding to symptoms or medical text for more information.
