How long does it take for acid reflux to go down if you just started it, have a problem with laying down & eating. feel it in my chest so how long????

Needs treatment: Acid refluxJ will not go away on its own unless it's treated. The best treatment is too elevate your head end of bed by putting something under the legs of bed on that side. You can try some antacids like Tums or Mylenta for temporary relief. Medicines like zantac (ranitidine) or axit will help better and for longer period. the best medicines are something like prilosec or prevacid for a short term of 2 wks
