Just got home from working third shift from 9pm-7am and after taking a shower and drying my hair. I laid down and I got this taste of throw up in my mouth and it starting to burn and my bottom lip is very chapped and has a red ring from one end of my bottom lip to the other.

Causes of acid reflux include - incompetency of gastroesophageal junction - inadequate sleep - excess stress - much consumption of oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs - excess alcohol beverages intake - prolonged fasting states - excess smoking - certain disorders of stomach , liver & oesophagus - certain neurological conditions : any factor leading to imbalance of acid neutralising capacity of stomach as well as affecting GE sphincter.

heat and excess cold.

* Avoid smoking / tobacco / alcohol / any other abuse substances if taking.
