Hi - does this happen during the day, or just at night? One of the most effective ways to help it at night is to raise the foot of your bed 4 to 6 inches.  It may sound weird to sleep that way, but it really does help.  You can get bed risers even in Target and Walmart.  Some are shaped for square legs, some for round, and they cost between $15 - $20 so it's not expensive.       Diet changes do help some people, so do whatever you can to avoid things that aggravate it (particularly smoking - there is nothing good that comes from smoking, and a lot of bad!)   Hot foods - avoiding these help some, but not all.  I would start with the risers - just get 2, for the one end of the bed.  If your bed is on a wood floor, or has wheels, you may need to get the little 'coaster' type of rubber feet to put under them so the bed won't slide...      Good luck - your health is worth it because YOU are.  Don't delay!
