Nexium and Ranitidine help to reduce the acidity.
You need to take a motility regulator like Domperidone or Metoclopramide as your Doctor would advise after your discussion with him.
Take soft, bland diet in small frequent quantity.
Upper GI Endoscopy and Barium studies to know the cause of such severe reflux and to see for any surgical procedure that can correct your reflux.

MD I am a 33 year old man who is healthy. I only battle GERD for which I take 2 15mg Prevacid q morning (have for years) and consistent sinus issues. I sat down at computer desk this morning and broke out in a major sweat, extremities cold, felt anxious. Laid down momentarily, felt better. Got back up, went back to computer, same symptoms but worse this time. Had to lay down around an hour to recover this time, with constant calming myself down. I have no nausea, no vomiting, no dizziness or lightheadedness. No other symptoms. I have had x 4 days minor lower abd cramping with mild diarrhea, albeit at the time of this episode that had improved somewhat. I have been under a great deal of stress lately. What could this be?
MD For the past 6 months I have had what believed to be GERD symptoms: the feeling of stomach contents coming back up, occasional burning in my stomach, bitter taste in the mouth, and worsening symptoms on an empty stomach. I was put on nexium, prevacid, zantac, prilosec and am now on Protonix 40 mg qd, which works about 3 days out of 7, if I m lucky. Eating (no matter what it is) takes my symptoms away temporarily. I also notice if am active I have less symptoms than when I am sedintary. I have had 2 attacks of extreme queasiness with dizziness and cold sweats but no vomiting. My gall bladder sono showed a few cholesterol stones and sludge. My EGD showed inflammation of the esophagus and stomach. My lower esophagus was irritated and they removed a polyp from my stomach (no results yet). H. Pylori blood test was negative (was hoping that was the culprit). So now I am being pressured to have my gallbladder out but I am not convinced that is my problem but I need some relief! I am sick of feeling like crap most days and not knowing what is causing it or if any medication is ever going to give me relief. Any suggestions?
