HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to given history here, first thing you need to do is quit the smoking and alcohol particularly prior to bed, if you would continue the smoking and alcohol then the heart burn would continue even after taking the medicines, the option is medicine for reducing the hear burn is "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day at evening time" for six week, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
