Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain acid reflux occur due to weakening or flaccidity of muscle ring present on lower end of the oesophagus or food pipe leading to reflux of acid from stomach to mouth and due to inflammation of the lining of oesophagus leading to Heart burn..
You should consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can also advise you to get Endoscopy done to confirm the diagnosis..
He can advise you to take Proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole, H2 blockers like Ranitidine, antacid like Milk of Magnesia half an hour before meals, avoid spicy and acidic foods, take small frequent meals, take short walk after meals, take your dinner atleast 2 hours before sleeping, sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet, and drink plenty of water..
If you are overweight try loosing weight as it will help in improvement..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
