Dr. Larry Maturani answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Medication: Start by watching trigger foods:choclate, caffienated beverages, fatty foods, . Take an otc proton pump inhibitor such as protonix (pantoprazole). Perhaps add an h2 blocker for added protection.Can also elevate head of the bed or use more pillows at night. Good luck.
