HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may want to consider testing for h pylori. This is a bacteria, that if present, can worsen reflux or ulcers.
A blood test can determine if it is present. If H pylori is identified then you would require a 10 day to 14 day course of 2 antibiotics along with the acid medication (eg nexium)
If it is appropriately treated, it would significantly reduce your symptoms.
I hope this helps
