ohh Bella you poor thing

I had a few bouts of awful reflux/heartburn and woke up a couple of times with stomach acid racing up my throat :S

The only things I found helpful were avoiding anything oily, no food or drink a few hours before bed (my cut off was 8pm for an 11pm bedtime), sleeping propped up on a mountain of pillows, and aniseed tea (DH used to boil a few teaspoons of aniseeds in about half a litre of water for 5 minutes and I'd drink that either hot or cold).

My m/w also suggested alfalfa tea but by the time I got my bum to the healthfood shop to buy some, the reflux had settled.

Goodluck!! x
