Complications of GERD include esophageal ulcerations, strictures, Barretts mucosa and cancer. It would be wise to do an EGD to make sure he is not at risk for any of these problems.
Ulcers, Barrett’s esophagus, esophagitis, gastritis. If he has had the problem for a long time he should see a GI specialist.
