yes, and it’s pretty common. Acid can sometimes come back up from the stomach when the valve doesn’t close tightly (I forget what that valve is called).

9 times out of 10 it can be eliminated by losing a little weight. Otherwise, take something like Protonix to cut down on the acid.

It is not to much acid that is the trouble rather not enough, it is the acid that closes the asophagus valve and when the stomach acid is weak the valve stays open, try a little shot of applecider vinegar and your trouble should be fixed it worked for me

Not always the case, though. I'm a skinny boy, and I've had all those acid reflux problems, and also sleep apnea (so bad I had to have surgery on it two years ago). Had it for who knows how many years, decades, but since I was so skinny no doctor bothered to look for it, and I didn't know until it got so bad I begged my doc to look for it.
