Losing weight has significantly reduced my symptoms (my symptoms are pretty unambiguously down to a hiatal hernia). If you haven't, you may also want to get tested for H. Pylori.

Depending on what kind of pill you take you might want to try an alternative. E.g. ranitidine vs omeprazole or other proton-pump inhibitor.

But I presume you've seen a doctor? Because there are some really serious issues that can also trigger it and suppressing the symptoms can mask issues like stomach cancers so you don't want to self-medicate without at least checking with a doctor first.

Yep, like someone else mentioned, mine wasn't classic symptoms but throat and sinus issues. He prescribed pantoprazole but said I could stop taking it after a while. I've found that not to be the case.

He also said it was odd to have it at my age and weight but I've since found others in my family have it as well, so maybe genetic?
