When it Gets Worse
Acid Reflux will generally be worse when you are lying down. When you are standing or sitting upright gravity assists with keeping reflux down. However, when you lie down gravity is no longer helping you. Your saliva contains bicarbonate, which helps with the acid. When you sleep you swallow less and so the stomach receives less bicarbonate. The acid builds and when you wake up in the morning you experience nausea as a result of Acid Reflux.

Solutions
There are several things you can do to help yourself with this problem. If you do not get any relief, then a visit to your health care provider might be a good idea. Acid Reflux is damaging to the esophagus and throat, and can be an indicator of a much more serious condition. Most of these can be considered good health tips for anyone.

• If you smoke – stop
• Diet if you are verweight
• Do not drink alcohol
• Check the side effects of any medications that you take
• Eat smaller meals
• Do not eat right before bed
• Avoid rich, fatty and acidic foods
• Sleep on your side or with your upper body propped up
• Use over-the-counter antacids or ranitidine

If your problems with acid reflux and nausea are not resolved by using these methods, your physician will have alternatives that he can suggest. There are many tests that can be done to determine where your problem may lie and many treatment options and surgeries that can be done to provide a cure.

Complications
Acid Reflux can have many physical causes and can lead to complications. If the nausea leads to vomiting, especially if there is any blood in the regurgitation, you should make an appointment to be seen by your doctor immediately. You could have an ulcer of the esophagus, stomach or duodenum, a hiatal hernia or improper contractions of the esophagus. Nausea and vomiting with reflux is an indicator that you may have a much more serious problem than heartburn.

Discipline the hunger that you have in your mind. Many men and women usually increase their hunger when they are stressed out. They eat more calories to make them feel revived. Some people who are feeling down usually focus on eating a lot of foods. In that way, at least they can satisfy their selves. The next time you want to have a snack, think well if you are actually hungry, not because you are stressed out or feeling down but because you are truly hungry. If you are not actually hungry and only your mind tells you to eat these and those, find another ways to counter your hunger that your mind tells you. Try to feed your feelings like trying to go for a walk, have a chat with a friend or write anything on a journal instead.

Try involving yourself to some social groups with goals for healthy decisions. Most people with group of dieters tend to be more successful with their like-minded healthy goals. Being in a group will enable you to talk about things and will boost your support system.  These people who are able to talk about their problems have the more probabilty in being able to reach their goals since they have others to back them up.
