Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your health query I’m of the following opinion:
1. Do let me know about your age, gender and any medical history ( not specified) for providing better details of the same ( some are age related, other are gender oriented and some are contraindicated in certain medical conditions)
2. Do let me know whether you are also practicing Yoga Asanas, since they are to be performed before Pranayama and thereafter it should be done.
3. In Ayurveda, out of 5 essential Prana ( life force), namely Prana, Apana, Vyana, Samana, and Udana: Prana and Apana are the most important, where Prana is upward flowing and Apana is downward flowing and practice od Pranayama helps achieve balance between the two: so are you mainly concentrating on these two aspects or want types which helps in overall PRANAYAMA, i.e.
Prana: breath
Ayama: control

In nut shell:
- If you have more of kinetic energy ( always in motion, i.e. maximum activities/movements/ action are done hurriedly) you are of Vata type
- If you have more of Thermal energy ( i.e heat inside you): excess generation of heat, having more of anger, irritability and sweating) you are of Pitta type.
- If you have more of Potential energy (i.e. energy stored by being in a state or position for longer duration): having more of weight, lethargic, doing things or moving/walking slowly you are having Kapha Dosha.
Please let me know which best suits you.

Dear Doctor,
By this reference, I may have a mix Pitta and Vata type.
If I have to choose only one, then Pitta will be applicable more, and followed by Vata type.
As I do have excessive heat in the body, and face acid-reflux at times, and I do sweat a lot. I have slightly above average anger issues. And my actions and talking is also slightly faster than normal, and I am in a hurry most of the times.

As per the information provided by you, it seems to be of Pitta predominant Pitta-Vata (PV) type constitution, thus following is my opinion:
1: As Pitta is related with
- proper metabolism (you having reflux issues), - proper thermoregulation ( you having excess heat)
- fire element ( you having anger issues)
2. As Vata is related with movements at all levels of the Physiology and also regulates activities of Pitta and Kapha. ( you are in hurry most of the times)
- So going by this observation, your Pitta and Vata Dosha are deranged resulting in changing activities and mood, and do remember that through Yoga we are controlling the activities of the mind and in Ayurveda we hold that mind is largely influenced by Vata and Pitta Dosha, so in order to overcome the same we need to balance the same through:
A. - Deep diaphragmatic breathing and Ardha Matsyendrasana/Shavasana: for anger mamagement
- Sheetali /Sitkari Pranayam: for acid reflux, heart burn.
B. - Nadi Shodhana/ Agnisara Pranayam/ Bhastrika/ Ujjayi/ Brahmari Pranayam: for balancing and harmonizing Vata
- Bakasana/Malasana/Salabhasana/Ushtrasana/ Paripurna Navasana/Supta Virasana: balance and controls sub types of Vata Dosha.
PS. It is to be remembered that Pranayama techniques involves breathing, thus all Pranayamas will increase Vata ( in general), because breathing itself is Vata activity, but because it involves sitting and mind control: vata is not elevated to an extent that it can cause diseases.
3. Whatever is the energy inside you ( whether thermal/kinetic or potential), our ultimate goal is to establish control of Prana (bio energy), and it should be remembered that Yogic Pranayamas are extremely complex and difficult for actual practice, so initially do them under able guidance of a certified Yoga trainer or Institution.
