Let me help you: Take antacids. In many cases, over-the-counter antacids offer instant relief from acid refluxmaylanta)
use h2-blockers(prilosic and others...)relieve reflux symptoms within an hour.
Sit up instead of lying down during an acid reflux attack.
Avoid triggers (caffeine, alcoholic beverages and spicy foods).
Good luck.
