It could be because of increased acidic secretion or H. pylori bacterial infection. If you're symptomatic then you need a course of PPI tablets and antacid syrup. Consult a surgical Gastroenterologist for a second opinion. Not all situations require surgery.

You should get yourself evaluated for h pylori infection, then undergo eradication therapy. It may resolve with treatment. If no other condition is found you need screening image enhanced endoscopy with mapping biopsy every 2-3 years. Rest you may consult a gastroenterologist with your reports.
