Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I have read the query and you have already carried out an endoscopy which suggests there are no ulcerations or erosion's in stomach or duodenum which is a good sign.
PPI's like tab.pan40 are the drugs of choice for reducing acidity and their effect is the most when taken as empty stomach in the morning but their prolonged use is not advised instead certain lifestyle modifications will help reduce the production of acid from stomach:
1.Drink plenty of water especially after food intake.
2.Avoidance of oily foodstuffs,caffeine containing products like tea,coffee and aerated drinks.
3.Have light meals at shorter intervals than having heavy meals at long intervals.
4.Fix the timings of your meals especially have food early in the night atleast 1-2 hours before you sleep.Do regular exercise.
5.Quit smoking,alcohol if you consume it.
6.If the acidity is still not relieved you might be suffering from an H.Pylori infection for which H.pylori kits are available in the market but it should be confirmed first by a biopsy during endoscopy or urea breath test.
Kindly rate my answer if you find it useful.Feel free to ask any further any queries.Take care.
