I suffer a lot with heartburn, almost every night which keeps me awake for long periods how do i treat it?

Reflux: Be careful with eating late at night and then lying down, and avoid acidic foods, caffeine, chocolate, alcohol which can flare it up. If that doesn't help then try some OTC meds like Zantac/Prevacid to see improvement.
