Not to worry. Very common problem. Avoid known triggers like eating too late at night and consider something like a sinus rinse. Some people will use an H2 blocker or other medication to improve if severe.

If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative. It would be prudent to consult a GI doctor. Wish you good health!
