I don’t know if I have GERD. But I some nights wake up with intense pain in my lower chest and upper stomach and if I sit down it goes away after some time. I learned to avoid certain triggers for this - black peppers, lemons etc. I also have the head end of my bed lifted up a bit which seems to help. My previous endoscopy a few years back didn’t reveal much except my doctor just giving me Pento.
This study doesn’t seem to offer much for someone who might be at risk. All I hear is some statistical jargons.

You could get a proton pump inhibitor to lower stomach acid production, and/or make sure not to eat too close to bed time. Have it checked out again, and consider getting a second opinion.
