What is your weight ? Obesity and GERD go hand in hand. Your Gastro Oesophagial junctionis loose (lax) and does not close tightly after eating and gastric churning movement pushes food back in to food pipe (oesophagus) That isthe main reason of your discomfort. Reduce if there is extra weight. While sleeping keep head end of bed a little raised. Continue the medicines as prescribed.
