Hello,
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Use H2 blockers (Pepcid, Tagamet, Zantac) that decrease acid production.
-Practice proper posture.
-Elevate from the waist up.
-Mix in a teaspoon of baking soda into a glass of water when you feel the acidity.
-Chew gum to help neutralize the acid.
-Stay away from cigarette smoke.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
