    Hi sweetheart, have you seem your gp yet? If not first off you can buy meds over the counter like nexium, also short term relief I've always got my gaviscon advance next to me at night....try these but make an appointment with your gp asap so he can get you on the right meds, I know how you feel I've suffered with gerd and hiatus hernia for 25 years it's horrible but you can get it under control xx
