Untreated GERD can contribute to esophageal cancer. H pylori testing may be warranted. I take Prilosec every day. Used to take Nexium but it was $600/mo and Prilosec is OTC and works almost as well for me. They are the same drug but Nexium is a slightly different molecule. There is a concern over bone fractures with long term use of PPIs is the only bummer but you have to weigh the risk benefit.
