Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
U may not want to hear this but smoking can be a contributor to ur problem...it is on the list of things besides spicey food to avoid...meds along with diet and lifestyle changes ( smoking) can affect the way u feel and if u continue to develope a persistant GERD issue.
Ask ur pharmacist what OTC med will be best for u....if ur problem persists please see a GI dr.
Please see our Health Pages here on MedHelp.

After dealing with my four month old girl with GERDS, I'd say you should try something over the counter for that, and if it doesn't help I'd see a GI Specialist. I tried many things with my little girl, but ended up going to a GI Specialist. How long have you been smoking, more than likely it's not the smoking that is causing the issue. I honestly think it sounds like GERDS, try something over the counter like prilosec. Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon.
