Diet eval: Need to know cause. Unfortunately gerd is not easy to control. Meds (proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole) can help decrease over-production of stomach acid, but some claim gerd related to under-production. Have a sleep test to rule out apnea and seek nutritional counseling from your pcp.

Maybe not just GERD: Further evaluation is key to determining if your symptoms are reflux-related or not. Also, if reflux, is it acid or non-acid material that is involved? Sometimes, pulmonary, ent, or dental issues are at play, ; sometimes dysmotility or gastroparesis is the issue. Are you sure your acid blocker dose is sufficient ; that you have been compliant with behavior ; diet restrictions to minimize gerd?

See a doctor: You should see a doctor and let them do an upper endoscopy and see if you need something different done.
