Thank you OHNS2010 - very helpful
Hi footylad,
Sometimes, it so happens that even when the patient is not having any of the above mentioned classical symptoms of GERD (Gaestro oesophageal reflux disease) they might be having something called as micro reflux. Any how there is no harm in trying these. If you still feel the symptoms are not subsiding please do consult your physician.

The Gastroenterology Forum. Also can post in the Reflux/GERD Forum too.
You can also post in the GI forum too. It definitely sounds like GERD/Reflux problems.
Do you have any acid reflux problems? This is one condition where there will be retrograde flow of the gastric contents into the throat and it worsens in supine position. You can try these:
1. Consume your dinner at least 2 hours before you go to bed
2. Avoid alcohol, smoking, fizzy drinks, coffee and tea
3. Drink plenty of water
4. Try taking Proton pump inhibitors (like Omeprazole/Esomeprazole)
5. Try lying on your left side
6. Use a bigger pillow
If symptoms are improving please do consult your physician
