17y/o Acid Reflux Sufferer seeking help

Hi ya’ll, I’ve been suffering from regurgitation of acid up my throat for roughly a year now. It only happens during night, when I want to sleep. Occasionally, if I eat various trigger foods a couple of hours before bed (4 hours or more), I can feel lumps afterwards in my throat and belch sometimes. I don’t have heartburn and I believe no indegestion either. I’ve tried two ppi’s (Nexium and Gasec) both work most of the time, mostly Nexium. However a sip of Gavescon does the trick if the ppi’s don’t work, but I oddly wake up with a dry throat. I’m 5’12 and weight 85kg and am aged 17. My father has been suffering from GERD for up to 20 years but is treated with Nexium, therefore I believe I inherited this genetically. I honestly don’t know what I have, people say I have GERD but looking at my symptoms I’m not sure they match, I believe I could have Silent Relfux instead but then again I’m not sure. Anyways in about 2 weeks I’ll be going to a doctor for a checkup and later an endoscope to seek what’s the problem. Currently I’m on 20mg Gasec pills which work sometimes, and this is paired with Gavescon pills which I take 3 times a day, the medications were prescribed by a GP.

Please don't try and diagnose yourself, you will get more answers from your doctor visit and he will decide if you need further testing. You might start by keeping a food diary and try to determine what you trigger foods are and then eliminate them.. You can have multiple family members suffering from GERD, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was inherited.
