Does that sound like indigestion/acid reflux?

That sounds a lot like acid reflux. I know what you mean being in your nasal area, as I've experienced it. I tried some proton pump inhibitors, but they give me stomach cramps so I've had to resort to being extra careful in my diet and taking the occasional pepcid.
Baron Opal hit up all the drugs very well (obvious due to his PharmD status) so I won't touch any of that.

Zantac is really cheap and has been off patent for awhile. The expensive ones are Prilosec (although better since the OTC and generics have arrived), Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium and Aciphex.
Edit: Ironic that I talked about drugs right after I said I wouldn't....what can I say, they're my life.
