Yes if you know the cause. You can take Tums or Pepcid over the counter. Your primary or GI doctor can order a CT scan to see if it is being caused by a paraesophageal hernia. They may prescribe omeprazole as well. They should also order additional testing such as a barium esophagram, manometry, or pH bravo..There is also a thoracic surgery where a device called LINX can be implanted to stop reflux.
