You have problem of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Nexium is proton pump inhibitor. That use in acid reflux.
You have to modify your diet first.
Avoid alcohol drinking and smoking.
Drink more water.
Avoid spicy foods.
Avoid oily foods.
Avoid citrus foods,onion, spicy foods etc.....
Take small amount meal.
Elevate your head after taking meal.
Antacid can use.
Endoscopy can done for further diagnosis.
Take care.
