I have GERD for quite a long time due to lack of sleep (after pregnancy) and high stress level , anxiety and depression issues. Now anxiety are cured after taking proper treatment, still my gerd symptoms is there with even more severe symptoms. I'm unable to sleep coz of the discomfort from the throat to chest upper part. When I don't lat down on day time it decreases but I need to wakeup early to pack lunch for kids so I need to take nap and need to lay down to make my baby take nap.. after napping it starts and it continues even at night . I adjusted my meal timing which is 2hrs before laying down. No luck..
I'm taking lots of home remedy like aloevera juice,amla juice, curd and curd rice for almost all the meals.. even I decreased my food portion . Whenever I bend down to do chores, my stomach acid comes to throat and it gives burning sensation from chest to throat. Please guide me what to do .
I have ready took syrup, proton inhibitor blockers alot for around 4years on and off.

Reflux of acid and/or food up into the Esophagus can cause chest pain. This happens due to dysfunction of the valve between food pipe and stomach: this can be due to upward displacement of this valve into chest. This cause the valve to remain open and result in reflux of acid into the food pipe.
To confirm this, you will need further tests: 1. Esophageal Manometry 2. 24 hour pH. These are mostly done by Medical Gastroenterologists. If the diagnosis is confirmed then the cause (Hiatus hernia) can be repaired with surgery which is done Laparoscopic or robotically.
