Reflux?: You may have a reflux problem since the symptoms are worse when lying down. Try sleeping on a wedge with 4 to 6 inches of elevation and avoid eating or drinking at least 2 hours before lying down. If symptoms persist, best to consult your doctor since you may have asthma which can be worsened by reflux.
