Hello,
thank you for trusting healthcare The problems that you have mentioned of course, do sound very much like reflux disorder or regurgitation.But it isnt proper,starting or being on medications without a proper checkup.If you not interested in endoscopy, atleast a chest X-ray with the abdomen would throw some light.I suggest you should take her to a gastroenterologist and then start the right medication, as it could be something like a hiatus hernia, a diverticulum or something malignant, looking at her age.

hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Seems like pantium isnt working for her anymore, and regurgitation suggests the presence of something more then GERD.
I understand anxiety and nervousness regarding any procedure, but sometimes one has to evalute the benefits over ones fears. The symptoms you just described suggest the presence of a pathology relating to the oesophagus. Investigations are NEEDED here.
Yes, if she is experincing severe symptoms and is anxious , then calming her and her symptoms down is a good idea, first. But diagnosis is to be made here.
You can take her to a homoepathic physician for the above mentioned symptoms + her anxiety, for now.
Takecare.
