Physicians normally recommend lifestyle modifications, whether or not recommending drugs is neccesary so maintain a healthy diet. Posture is also related to acid reflux so sit up straight!

Don't eat 2 hours before you go to bed. Especially don't drink coffee or alcohol 2 hours before before bed as this can cause evening reflux. Same thing goes with excessive intake of Vitamin C.
