Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Increased acidity problems particularly during night times is due to the following reasons:
Stress and you have mentioned that you already have.
Once the stomach get empty after around three hours the acidity increases and cause the symptoms as you have.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Take a PPI like Omeprazole.
Antacids should be taken when you are on empty stomach.
Domperidone may help further.
No smoking or alcohol.
Avoid stress and anxiety at any cost.
Soft bland diet, small frequent meals.
All these help to come over the problem.
Also take an opinion of a Gastroenterologist and go for upper GI Endoscopy.
