Even reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus, if allowed to continue untreated, can cause frequent burning chest or stomach pain, chronic cough, bad breath, and esophageal stricture, making the food pipe too narrow for food to pass through. In some cases, the chronic esophagitis can even cause ulcers and bleeding. Some patients develop Barrett’s metaplasia, where the cells in the inner lining of the esophagus take on abnormal shape and color, and, over time, this becomes cancer.
