Are there any long-term consequences of gerd?

Yes: Esophageal strictures (narrowing of the esophagus) and esophageal cancer are some of the potential long term consequences of gerd.

Yes: Agree with dr. Vinson. Additionally, severe cases may be associated with injury/dysfunction of esophagus, damage to teeth, inhalation/aspiration of refluxed material and airway complications.
