Esophageal cancer can happen with constant acid reflux. See a doctor.

My husband ended up with esophageal cancer after years of acid reflux, decades, really. The reflux caused Barrett’s esophagus which developed into cancer. His esophagus was removed in 2011, Most of his esophagus was removed and his stomach was pulled up and attached to what was left of his esophagus. His stomach has been greatly reduced in capacity, it’s almost like a gastric bypass. He has made a good recovery but I would not wish this on anyone.
