8 yr old with GERD

Hello I have an 8 yr old Daughter with GERD.. Shewas playing Soccer on Saturday and had to stop playing as it looked like she was having an asthma attack... This is a first.. Does it have to do with the damage she already has to her esophagus.  Can she still play? is it safe?

If she was having an asthma attack, this is a separate serious issue that also needs to be addressed.  And you may want to make sure she has no defect in her heart causing the attack she had.  I have GERD and have had what a doctor thought was likely esophageal spasms before - which can feel like a person's heart is having a problem, but it didn't give me an asthma like attack.  A real problem with the heart could give shortness of breath though.  I would take her in to make sure her heart is okay and get asthma or any other lung problem ruled out by a doctor as well before letting her play again.
