You need to address the cause of your acid reflux. If you are overweight, losing weight (not easy) is imperative. There are other complications that can arise from acid reflux. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist. Visit this site for info: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/acid-reflux-ger-gerd-adults
