Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acid reflux since 7 years. Well acid reflux is very common problem. It seems to be due to release of esophageal sphincter and excessive production of acid by stomach. Need not to worry. Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Avoid taking outside food.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
