New to this site. Worried about esophageal cancer

From what I've read it takes decades for GERD to lead to cancer. Esophageal Cancer is on the rise, but it is still rare. At your age you have a 0.002% chance of having it. Those are pretty slim odds. GERD and Stress sure make one another worse, and I think everyone's mind races to cancer at first. Mine sure did. Even if you have Barretts (which is frequently mis-diagnosed, and I doubt you could get it after 2 years, it'd take a minimum of a decade at least) your chances of Esphogeal cancer are not incredibly higher and it can Barrett's can be reversed.

I'd keep a food journal if I were you to see what triggers your GERD, as well as not eat 4 hours before bed. The book Dropping Acid has lots of great advice, and there are other diets that worked for many people on this forum.

Are you watching what you eat? Have you eliminated alcohol? Hopefully, with health anxiety, I hope you are not googling your symptoms and fearing the worse. Schedule a doctor's appointment, eliminate all the common trigger foods from your diet, and if necessary go back on the medication. You said it helped the first time, why not go with it again?
