Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
This requires lifestyle modifications along with drugs for better symptomatic relief.
Lifestyle modifications like.
1. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
2. Avoid oily, spicy and hot foods.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Go for walking after meals.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
6. Loose weight if you are obese.
7. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these bad habits.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
