Seriously cut down on the booze, at least drink milk before you go out!. Don't eat indigestible foods late in the evening!. See your GP about a prescription antacid such as Lansoprazole as the stomach acid can actually do damage to your vocal chords giving you a husky voice!. You often don't know about it as it happens when you are asleep!.
Ask your GP about a permanent solution!. Perhaps he can refer you to a more informative consultant!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If it gets worse when you drink alcohol, I'd say, cut out the alcohol and you'll also need to make sure you don't eat the foods which make it worse aswell!. The only thing you can do yourself to help relieve symptoms is to take indigestion/ heartburn tablets- antacids, etc!.!.!. Gaviscon/ Rennies are well known makes of these tablets!. If that's allthe doctor told you then I wouldn't say he's a very good doctor!. Go back to the doctor and ask for more information!. They should be able to prescribe you something or advise you on what to do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am being treated for this now!. The reflux has caused me a lot of sinus and ear problems and has burned my throat!. I am taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor (decreases acid production)!. It works very well and after two weeks I feel much better!. My treatment will be a total of 6 weeks and the doctor hopes this will be enough time to allow my body to auto regulate the problem!.!.!.!.will know in 4 more weeks!.
There are several possible reasons for Reflux but ALL of them require you to stop drinking and eating anything that can hamper your medication from doing its' job!. You may repair yourself or further intervention may be required!. Either way stop drinking alcohol!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a sad truth, but kajillions of people have been suffering from acid reflux and other stomach problems for so long that they think it's normal for them and that they're stuck with it-- that because the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA have conspired to call it a disease, and they've got it, they're skroood!.
Not!.
They've lived decades or lifetimes with regular heartburn, chest pain, hoarseness, acidy burps, chronic throat clearing, sore throat, persistent cough and being unable to sleep at night and come to accept it as the way they're meant to be!.
They've taken tankerloads of medicine think that's OK!.
Let me make this clear--it's NOT normal for you or anyone else to be this way!. I don't care who in your family has had similar problems or how long you've been suffering-- it's not the way you're meant to be!.
And if you've been suffering for decades or even for days with acid reflux or other stomach ills, one thing and one thing alone is the biggest cause of your agony--What you put in your mouth!.
When you eat in a way that causes overproduction of stomach acid and poor digestion of food, you get acid reflux!. It's not a disease--you bring it entirely on yourself!.
The medical community and big pharma want to label it a disease so they can get you dependent on drugs!. But it's not!. It's your body screaming that you're doing something wrong and pleading for you to change!.
Listen to your body!. Don't continue to abuse it day in and day out by eating the wrong foods and sending your stomach into turmoil, then taking pills to put out the flames!.
