I second Gregor's recommendations
Unless this has been going on for a while, do not do a PPI type drug. While they can help in some cases, doctors hand them out like antibiotics for the common cold virus.

Spend a month on an mostly vegan diet. Maybe eggs and limited amounts of cheese are safe. Have yogurt once or twice per day. (The condition may be related to problematic bacteria levels, which yogurt can help with.)
Find out the PH level of your water supply. Slightly basic water helps a lot. Avoid acidic things.

Coffee, Cola, chocolate, and alcohol are a major cause of this problem. To a lesser extent spicy/oily foods.
Coffee is a big one. Cut it out immediately. Tea also. You can substitute sparingly with decaf versions. Don't eat dark chocolate at all. Substitute sparingly with milk chocolate. Don't drink cola. Substitute sparingly with Fanta, Sprite etc. Better still, drink home-made juices (no added sugar). Cut out alcohol and cigs.
Eat more greens and less pizza and hot dogs. Skip dressings on your salad or use sparingly.
Do not eat before you sleep or take a nap. Also get a sleep wedge, so that your head is at a higher level compared to your stomach.
Reduce stress. You may be living an unhealthy life all this while without any GERD. Stress can spark this shit overnight. Do you recall being stressed in the last few days?

I'll agree with most of this but only to an extent. It can be triggered (or not triggered) by lots of things. Try cutting out coffee, and see if it helps. Same for the other things. You basically have to figure out what's causing it.
Also, it can sometimes be a physical issue, like a hiatal hernia or something along those lines, in which case your food intake isn't going to impact it a ton. See if you can isolate the cause or causes on your own, and if nothing works then see a doctor.
I personally prefer Prilosec to the other PPIs, but YMMV.
