Calm down!: Gerd is common--present in about 70 million americans. As such, there are easy solutions if you have just symptoms. If however you have inflammation due to gerd, this can be progressive & needs to be controlled. Start with behavior & diet changes (see prior healthtap answers), add acid-blocker medications (either h2-blockers or ppi's). Get evaluated, especially if atypical, chronic &/or worsening.

Acid reflux: Gerd management starts with life style changes, such as: raising the head of the bed 30 degrees when sleep & also sleeping on left side, consume smaller meals & avoid eating before bedtime, lose weight & avoid wearing tight clothing, avoid acidic fruits & juices & fatty meals & caffeine & onions & peppermint & chocolate, nicotine & alcohol, medications such as proton pump inhibitors, gaviscon.
