Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux

I have frequent acid reflux later after meals, even when I did not eat a lot. I ate a late breakfast at 11:00am today, 2 slices of bacon and 2 eggs with 1 biscuit. I have had reflux for the last couple of hours.
Tried a hot cup of black coffee and it has not helped.
This happens in the evenings after dinner if I have had too much, OR if I am reasonably full and have one glass of red wine. I begin to reflux. I have to have the glass of wine before my meal to prevent acid reflux.

Thank you for using Telemedicine via HealthcareMagic.com. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Based on your history you have Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) only with one symptom (acid reflux). Take Nexium 40 mg once daily is drug of choice for GERD, also Ranitidine 150mg twice daily is commonly prescribed. Avoid drinks like cola, coffee, wine, foods like chocolate, spicy foods, potatoes, bad posture after eating meals (eat one or two hours before going to bed) , sleep with elevated head by two pillows, are some general measures but very helpful along with treatment which requires several weeks to show its results. Please don't forget to give your valuable feedback and five star rating, to help me assist you in a better way. Click at 'I Find This Answer Helpful too'.
