Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux, Vomiting And Chest Pain

I have had acid reflux for years but as every member of my family has had their gall bladder out I think it might be my gall bladder. How do I know the difference? I keep having the same pain in my chest for years now. Wake up vomiting acid in the middle of the night? I have been on medication for acid reflex for 8 years.
