General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns

With this presentation, what I can suggest is that:
1) You raise the head of your bed
2) Avoid spicy foods, pepper, alcohol, fatty foods and caffeine-containing foods.
3) take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole or pentoprazole for close to a month

I hope these would help
I wish you well
