Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Apart from nexium that you are taking please do following which should help.
>Take small frequent meals in place of two major one.
>Drink more of liquids, avoid soft drinks, reduce quantity of alcohol if you taking
>Do regular exercise
>Do not lie for at least 2 hours after any major meal
>Avoid fired foods, take more of fruits and salads
>Avoid possible stress which can worsen the condition.
>Avoid taking any analgesic drugs unless advised by doctor.
Keep regular follow up with your physician and continue medication.
I hope this helps.
