Reflux symptoms and upper abdominal pain are very common symptoms in general population. Both symptoms are visceral and thus cannot be linked to an organ or a disease. Diagnostic work-up revealed organic disease in up to 30%, when patients present with dyspeptic symptoms. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and functional dyspepsia (FD) represent the most frequent and important disorders in western countries, when diagnostic work-up is done in patients with reflux symptoms and abdominal pain.
