Some lifestyle things which are easy are
• not eating near the time you sleep (you can look up the specific guidelines, but at least a few hours), and
• using pillows or the plastic things to raise your bed but only at the HEAD) to make sure you are not flat on your back, which increases this; and
• longer-term, losing belly fat, which exacerbates the condition.
DO try to get it under control, because the acid CAN damage your esophagus.

@SomeMichGuy Very detailed and informative thank you ☺️ My acid reflux had gotten worst at some point where it irritated harshly my throat. I would wake up in the middle of the night coughing so bad and feeling like being suffocated. Now thankfully it has gotten better I avoid certain foods specially meat only very minimal.
