Suggest Therapy For GERD

Hey, I have been diagnosed with GERD. It causes great discomfort for me, especially at work. I am becoming easily irritated and end up arguing with my co workers on small matters, all because I have this pain in my throat. I have had pain for the past 8 months. Have been on Omeprasool twice a day plus an antacid evening for a month already. It actually feels worst now the last week than it felt when it started. I cant continue like this, its ruining my relationships with my co workers and family. I get this sensation that there is something stuck in my throat, and need to clear my throat whole day long, which leaves me with a headache. I already changed my lifestyle and my eating habits. Any help would be appreciated? Im 21, weighs only 48kg, is 1.65 m tall. I need help urgently?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.For GERD in my patients i prescribe Rabeperazole which is superior to omeperazole.I prescribe in combination with antiemetic domperidone and both as sustained release preparation.I also advise not to have food at least 3 hours before bed.Alcohol smoking spicy foods should be avoided.You should have short meals at short intervals.You can practice breathing exercises for controlling stress and anger.Stress and anger also increases GERD.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
