    sorry you are not feeling well! elevate when u sleep! put extra pillows under your head. no caffeine, no soda! bland diet! get massages once a week! if u must have some caffeine eat something first, dilute your coffee or tea. Never allow yourself to get hungry because it makes the reflux worse. even if you eat crackers. bananas are good. walks help with stress. as far as sleep I stay up later so when I do go to sleep I am really tired. it helps get a solid 5 or more hours. no smoking, no alcohol! I was on Omprezole for two months then slowly get off taking it every other day, then every other day, then every 3 days etc. I suffered for a year and doing great. definitely NO spicey food for a few months. hope this helps
