Reflux: The treatment of GERD includes avoiding caffeinated products, not eating within two hours of bedtime and avoiding spicy foods. Drink fluids and try a proton pump inhibitor over the counter, unless otherwise indicated by your physician. If you continue to have shortness of breath though other causes should be ruled out.
