If you let it go to long you can get what called Barretts esophagus & that is bad as I have that now because I let it go to long before I took any real steps. I had throat surgery about 10 years ago to help this problem & it helps but you have to learn to swallow all over again. Plus it takes a long time for your voice to come back completely & you have to take meds forever. At times I still have problems swallowing certain things & at times it still comes back up. If your having problems GO SEE A DOCTOR NOW. It will only get worse. I before the surgery was eating a bottle of tums & a big bottle of Maalox every week . I now have a 50 % bigger chance of throat cancer because of this . See a doctor before it's to late. I still have to take Nexium every day & will for the rest of my life.
