Gerd: Be careful what u eat at night, no late smacking, prop up with an extra pillow under your head, and review your meds. With your doc.

With Gerd or Acid Reflux, if you have a flare-up overnight, can it still bother you the next day after you wake up? Is it because you've been asleep and have an empty stomach when you wake up? Or is it due to another reason?
