And on top of that guess what? Smoking makes it worse because of the nicotine having a effect on the lower stomach sphincter making it weak enough to not hold stomach acid. That was one of the reasons I quit smoking because it kept screwing with my acid reflux making it worse.
But if you're not taking something for that acid reflux, as bad as it sounds, you should be. Don't ignore that acid reflux because it will mess with you physically and psychologically.
