Tell your doctor that you aren't getting relief. The antibiotics really helped me.
I would still have bouts and some nights I was up all night. Using pillows and elevating the head of the mattress helped a little. Some nights I woukd sleep in a chair. The burning and hurting in my esophagus continued for days even if there wasn't any acid actually coming up.
Your doctor has probably told you that losing weight may help.
I know it's really hard to make the changes needed. Some days I didn't know if eating made me sick or eating and having something in my stomach would make me feel better.
Start with small changes. No alcohol. No eating after 6. Have bland foods like rice, bananas, yogurt and eggs available so you are less tempted to eat fast food that can be greasy.
