See your doctor: As you mentioned that you may have increased 'acid in your tummy', this may mean or point toward some form of hyperacidity issue occurring in your stomach that needs to be worked up. So that should be the first place to start. Also, it's important to not eat close to bedtime, reduce any form of acidic or tomato-based products, processed foods, fried foods, sodas, sugary desserts or carbs.

Check acid reflex: If feeling acidic, accompanied by dull aches in stomach region, get yourself checked out for acid reflex which can be managed with medication and diet modifications. While many meds are OTC, a proper exam will help establish proper diagnosis.
