Reflux woes

Lately I have struggled with what I believe is silent reflux. 

I have an irritated throat which I clear often, as well as hoarseness, a feeling of fullness in my throat, and an acid aftertaste.  One night I woke up with that terrible taste in the back of my mouth and a burning.  YUCK. I notice it in times of stress, but also after a big meal, citrus, tomato, and morning coffee.  And I feel like its adding stress, which pushes my BP up...time to make changes: 

this might be my last Hot and Sour soup for awhile...

*Omeprazole for 14 days

*chew (fruity) gum after meals

*honey cough drops to relieve throat pain

*no alcohol, chocolate, mints

*continue walking

*wear comfortable loose pants

*sit up after eating and eat dinner no sooner than two hours before bedtime

*add more veggies, fiber, and eat less processed food

*eat smaller meals

All of this in addition to trying to follow better eating for my blood pressure, so now I am coming up with a plan that will work for me. Wish me luck!
