Low risk: The risk of cancer with acid reflux is low, but there are other potential complications like ulcers in esophagus, bleeding, damage to larynx (voice box) and aspiration of refluxed into lungs and pneumonia. To address this you should lose weight if you are overweight and see your doctor for medical treatment.
