Acid reflux can be pretty painful, especially to those who suffer from frequent acid reflux episodes. The amount of pain, of course, would really depend upon that particular person's pain threshold and how severe the acid reflux symptoms are. Symptoms include heartburn/acid indegestion, regurgitation ("wet burps" or small amounts of vomit), and dyspepsia (general stomach discomfort).
