Hi,
You can have drug induced acid reflux. Kindly mention name of your medications that you are taking. For acid reflux, Rabeprazole like antacid can be prescribed. It's advisable to elevate head during sleeping.
You can put pillow below head and thus can raise your head. Go to sleep two hour after taking meal. Heavy fatty foods should be restricted.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
