Suggest Remedy For Severe Acid Reflex

I have acid reflex real bad. Sometimes I will be sleeping and I will wake up gasping for air and can taste the acid in my throat and I shake when I finally get my breath back. SOmetimes I feel like I wont get my breath back. I wear loose clothing to bed. And I sleep at an angle and wait 3 hours before laying down. I take 20mg of omeprazole every morning. Will eating an red delishous apple after a meal t night help.
