You need to see a gastroenterologist as soon as you can. Acid reflux can cause erosion of the esophagus, ulcers, and cancer of the esophagus or stomach.
There are medications that can completely control acid reflux, commonly called GERD, but a doctor would have to prescribe them for you.
There are over-the-counter medications you can buy without a prescription, but I urge you to see a specialist and not self-medicate. Untreated or improperly-treated GERD can contribute to other diseases, such as asthma.
