HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Physical or emotional stress or illness can cause the period to be delayed so if the reflux was very bad or you were otherwise unwell , this could be the cause.
You can repeat the pregnancy test in a few days to recheck the result.
Other causes of delayed or irregular period are: (1) polycystic ovarian syndrome
(2)high prolactin hormone levels
(3)abnormal thyroid hormone levels
(4)extreme physical activity
(5)inadequate diet
I hope this helps
