Acidic feeling in throat early morning

I frequently wake up in the morning with an acidic feeling in my throat. Does this mean that I'm eating dinner too late at night? It's not a nice feeling.

Sounds like GERD. I have this and it's manageable with meds but can cause complications over time if left untreated. It runs in my family.

Yes. Make sure you eat 3-4hours before you lie down. A little gaviscon 15minutes before bed and raising the bed head a few inches can help too.

Yes, it sound like Gerd - so you’re refluxing overnight. Don’t eat 3-4 hours before bed, take gaviscon advance before bed and sleep on left. If you can, raise head of bed, but that’s the hardest thing as it can be uncomfortable/you can slide down.
