I have acid reflux to the point at times I feel like I am haiving a heart attack my Doctor gave me a protocol sheet of some things I could do to help control the symptoms. 1. elevate the head of your bed to 45 degrees, 2. if over wieght lose it. 3. take liquid maylox or mylanta before and after meals and at bedtime if needed. 4.avoid spicey food, citris, caffiene, nicotine and alcohol. 5. avoid wearing tight fitting clothes. 6. drink plenty of water 6-8 8oz glasses a day..it sounds simple but it really helped me and also I use prevacid 30mg. every day but my Doc lets me take it two times a day when my symptoms are severe...you might have you mom try the protocol and see if it helps..
