Acid reflux

I've been trying to sleep for 2 hours and I cannot get it to go away I haven't eaten since about 7pm except a few chips here and there (it's now just about 4am) I don't have any milk as I forgot to pick some up today :( I can't fall asleep propped up on my back it's too uncomfortable. I need to lay on my sides to fall asleep but the second I do it gets so bad and hurts so much all the way up into my skull it feels like and felt like puking a couple times.

Anyway, what else can I do to help? Aside from milk and sleeping propped up lol I need to be up in 2 hours I need some sleep!

I've never had heart burn before, I had no idea it could be this bad, and I only get it at night. I'll definitely get some tums or something.

Get some Gaviscon. That was the only thing that helped me and I had heartburn/acid reflux every day so bad I actually kept a bottle in the house and in our vehicle so I never was without it no matter where we were at! They sell it at Walmart in tabs or liquid.

I don't have any tablets, and it's like - 13 so cold things don't sound so good lol I'm just making some soup since I won't be able to fall asleep by the time I need to be up anyway. Maybe it's just from my tummy being empty. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them!
