How Safe Is Taking Prevacid For Mild Inflammation Found In Stomach?

In december I started experiencing acid reflux and got ill. I started having stomach pains that are sparse and bad gas. This has continued till now. I have nausea but that seems to have gotten better. My tongue is constantly white and I always have a sore throat with mucus. I have bad acid reflux about 2 times that has lasted for about 3 days each and within that time i have felt it come up my throat. I started haviing anxiety attacks in January and now i cant ride buses or trains which is bad beacause Im a uni student. My eating habits have gotten worse and I have lost around 3 stones. I have jaundice and was found to have a high bilirubin count. I was checked for gallstones and have none. I had an endoscopy and they found my stomach was midly inflamed. I can't sleep well anymore which gives me headaches. My hands are constanly shaking and I keep having tests and nothing has come up. I barely passed my second year of uni and i want to get better before my 3rd year starts. This is a nightmare. I been put on prevacid and anti sickness tablets but there is no real improvement after taking them for several months. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.
