Only way to tell in you is to give it a try. If you still have problems elevate the head of the feet of you bed by 8inches, Gravity never sleeps.

I am not sure your symptoms are due to reflux or just indigestion/heartburn which can be handled with rennie tablets which are sold as Tums in the US. Taking pepsi soda does not negate the effect of calcium carbonate, the main ingredient of rennie or tums. Practice antireflux measures if you truly have reflux: do not lie down within 2 hours after a meal + raise the head of your bed about 8-10".
