Does a wedge help with nighttime acid reflux?

Here are a few questions I might ask:
Do my lab reports show precancerous changes (dysplasia)? If so, what is the grade of my dysplasia?
How much of my esophagus is affected?
How often should I be screened for changes to my esophagus?
Do I have dysplasia and if so was it confirmed by an expert pathologist?
What's my risk of esophageal cancer?
Do I need to make diet or other lifestyle changes?
I have other health conditions. How can I best manage these conditions together?

Hi Colleen!
Hope you had a greatChristmas!
So I finally heard back from my gastro office. She said I had inflammation of my esophagus and stomach and to stay on my acid reducing medication ( omeprazole 40 nmg) and will discuss at next office visit (which I need to call for I guess). From different things I have read the reason for reflux is a lack of acid to help digest food. ( I am 70). Omeprazole reduces acid. I am confused. I'm sure we will go over this at my visit but I would appreciate your input. I know I do feel better taking it but I am worried about side effects.
Thank you!
