Hello
As you mentioned that you took few drugs as mentioned in the query i.e. metformin, tamoxifen, losartan, sertralin and fluoxetine .
As sertralin and fluoxetine causes nausea , hyper acidity and gastritis .
So in such cases I advise my patient to tale some antacid ( if it contains oxetacaine , then it is better ) but if symptoms are severe , you may need drugs proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole-D once or twice in day ( although dose is once in the night on empty stomach).
Also avoid greasy , spicy foods pizza, burgers .
So for prescription consult a doctor and get a prescription.
Good luck.
