Acid reflux. : At your age, you’d first need an upper endoscopy (EGD) given this finding of nocturnal reflux. Could just be a hiatal hernia, but we’d need to know for sure. Other than that, raising the head of your bed by elevating it a bit from the floor may help. And don’t eat within 4 hours of going to bed.
