Several ways: GERD is common and doctors may use dietary changes, antacids, and prescription medication. Good sleep and regular exercise program can benefit. Talk to your doctor

See below: In addition to antacids, you may try to address the underlying cause. If your are overweight, reducing weight is likely to help. Abdominal obesity increases intraabdominal pressure and predisposes to reflux. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
