Yes, it is result of Acid regurgitation eroding the oesophagial mucosa near the gastric end. Follow the treatment as prescribed. If you are over weight try to reduce your weightso that abdominal pressure does not push gastric contents and acid in oesophagus. At present its good that there is no hiatus hernia but if obesity is there it may set in and comlicate GERD.

The answer is "No".
You should be prepared for life long medicines with few gaps intermittently.
You will take one set of medicines for 2 months. Then you will get fed up and ask the Doctor to change the medicines.
This will continue like that
