What Can Cause Acid Reflux?
All of a sudden I got acid reflux 3 weeks ago and it hasn't gone away. I took Pepcid, hasn't helped. Just started on Prilosec. Question is, is it possible that this condition started because I had been leaning the laptop (which get hot as you know) on my stomach while in bed for a prolonged period of hours for like 2 weeks?

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear keeping laptop mostly won't cause acidity, but eating spicy food and alcohol may aggravate the problem.
If your taking any pain medication again it causes gastritis and GERD.
Use tab. nexpro-L before breakfast for two weeks. use syrp sucral two teaspoon thrice a day. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
