Welcome to healthcaremagic.com. Sorry to hear this. Please note that your eating habits and related alcohol use and the symptoms late at night point towards acid reflux until otherwise proven. Please note that cutting down late night meals ( eat at least 4 hours before bed) avoiding alcohol especially with dinner and using two pillow will substantially help with the symptoms, the worst culprit is the use of spicy foods, or fast foods for that matter. The medication would be omeprazole for 14 days should provide symptoms relief.
