I'm prone to getting acid reflux (felt in lower neck). among other times i seem to get it often on an empty stomach. is there any connection there?

Acid suppression : Esophageal reflux is treated with Life Style modification .weight loss if obese,change in diet like avoid large fatty meals and foods that cause reflux like onions,chocolate,mint, coffee Alcohol,smoking etc.Eat at least 3 hours before going to bed .Do not over eat. If not successful you can try over the counter H2 Blockers like Ranitidine and in severe casesProtonPump inhibiters like Omeprazole
