Ranitidine : I'm assuming that you have tried antacids such as TUMS or something similar. You can take Pepcid or Zantac at night. Eat smaller meals and wait about 2 hours after dinner to lay down to sleep and use a pillow or two to prop your head up. Taking a Prilosec 20 my (omeprazole) every morning can help for the whole day.
