Acid reflux a little different than the average

[marilee176]

Hello,  I have had the heartburn discomfort for about a year now.  I don't have it when I lay down at all, in fact this is when I feel best.
In the morning I feel pretty good but as day goes on it seems to get worse.
I burp/hiccup a lot and when I lean forward or stand up it comes up my throat.

I know I should go to doc but am scared it is something serious.  Probably will end up going but just wanting to see what others have experienced.

Thank you,
