According to this source...
The three most common symptoms are nausea, regurgitation, and heartburn.
Patients with acid reflux often report suffering from nausea. In fact, nausea as a result of acid reflux is so common that when a patient experiences nausea with no apparent cause, a doctor usually suspects acid reflux as the culprit.
Equally as common as nausea occurring from acid reflux is regurgitation. Regurgitation occurs when refluxed liquid actually backs up into the mouth. Sometimes, this liquid can contain food. When a patient regurgitates, they often experience a burning sensation as refluxed liquid and food bypass the UES (upper esophageal sphincter) and make their way into the mouth. This burning is often accompanied by an awful, acidic taste. If a patient continues to experience regurgitation, it can actually cause damage to their teeth as the acidic substance erodes the enamel that encases each tooth.
Probably the most common reported complaint of acid reflux patients is the presence of heartburn. This is usually characterized as a searing pain in the chest. It can either begin in your upper abdomen or actually travel up to your neck. For some patients, this can be a cause for alarm. In fact, many people have mistaken painful acid reflux for a heart attack. Heartburn is especially prevalent after eating meals. Although heartburn usually goes away, the bad news is that it is usually a lifelong problem that will eventually return.

Basically the one way valve at the top of the stomach allows acid and food back up into the oesophagus (swallowing tube) often as far as the mouth. The acid can burn, scar and eventually narrow the oesophagus. This disease is massively more common now due to our high levels of obesity. No cure per say ( Bar a major op). Generally managed by a mixture of lifestyle changes: advising weight loss,small frequent meals, not eating last thing and elevating the head end of the bed. Medicated with acid lowering drugs, generally now PPIs like omeprazole and antacids, especially Gaviscon.

Heartburn. You'll feel a burning sensation at the bottom of your throat, especially at night.
It is important to treat it early. Avoid these OTC and prescription acid blockers as they do more harm than good.
I saw a flyer in the health food store that said studies have shown Orange Peel Extract to be even better. I think I got something called Quench the Fire and I had to buy it online. It was $15.00.
Try it first, it can't hurt you.

Do you have heartburn all the time? Do you take antacids (Tums, Rolaids) like they're candy? Do you get worse heartburn when you lie down? Do you have trouble sleeping because of heartburn? If this sounds like you, you might have acid reflux. See a doctor before it gets worse and does permanent damage to your esophagus. The new drugs are very effective.

Ehm..
This is a natural program that you can try to cure your acid reflux http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=568
Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.
Have a nice day
