Hi

Gastroesophageal reflux disease involves reflux of acid from stomach to food pipe and patients will experience symptoms like burping, burning sensation or acid taste in mouth.

Acid secretion should be reduced with proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole. These drugs should be taken half an hour before food for 5 to 10 days.

Continue to sleep on left since it is the appropriate for reflux problems. Avoid sleeping on back.Always leave a gap of atleast an hour between meals and sleep.Changes in your diet and sleeping habits can control the symptoms very effectively.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
