Gastroesophegal reflux, Apetit loss

My digestive problem is a loyal companion since childhood. Though I am suffering from this condition of acid reflux in my tonsils and this creating burning and irritation in tonsils and uvular region since last 4 years only. My food habit is regular, although I have junk foods some times. My problem adds up cummulatively with my bad sleeping habit due to bad work culture. I almost sleep at 5:00 am in the morning and thus feel drousey all the day. Please suggest me about any remeadies other than changing habit, as that is really tough because of the nature of job, although I try my best to keep myself in routine.

[ ] Hi as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis. Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production. Some times in intractable cases one need to go ahead with Upper Gastroscopy to rule out gastric ulcer/erosions and presence of H PYLORI infection.Feel free to ask any further quary related to this problem.
