People can have GERD and not know it. That was the case with me. GERD can turn into Barrett's Esophagus where the lining of the esophagus becomes like the lining of the stomach. It's a pre-cancerous condition that needs to be endoscoped every three years.
I'm not saying that this is the case here but it's fairly common. It's definitely a signal to get good treatment and could be worth getting an endoscope if her GP thinks it's necessary.
