My symptoms included occasional pain in the chest (heartburn), goop in my throat after eating, chronic sore throat, and a nasty cough/shortness of breath that I and the doctors thought was asthma for years until a gastroenterologist explained it could be due to reflux, and when I finally got the reflux under control my asthma symptoms almost completely disappeared. Needless to say, these things were not pleasant for a singer to experience!
I use over the counter Pepcid (aka famotidine) at twice the recommended dose (prescription strength without the prescription price :o), plus I have elevated the head of my bed, avoid eating for at least 2 hours before I lie down, and avoid eating certain things and for the most part my symptoms are under control.
