Well, first, sorry you are feeling so bad. I had an endoscopy (thing down the throat) and I don't remember anything at all. They put me out and I did not wake up till much later and my mom had to tell me what I missed. So I don't think it would be too bad to have one, just make sure the doctor knows you want to be totally knocked out.
Also, I have never really had acid reflux, but I know you definitely need to stay away from peppermint tea, it only makes it worse. Also, try eating bready things like french bread and crackers.
I am not sure what the directions for taking an acid reflux type medicine are, but I always make sure I take any vitamins, medicines, pain killers, etc. with food. Taking things on an empty stomach almost always upsets my stomach.
Hopefully, someone with more reflux experience will reply to you.
good luck.
