I have got COPD as also GERD. I am told that in such cases the reflux of acids can trickle down to the lungs and further aggravate COPD. What should be the remedial measure for it?

Oral antacids, prokinetic drug, sleeping in 30 degree propped up position and taking small frequent means with lots of salad will help a lot. Also consult a chest physician.
