Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux.
I suggest to continue the medications and avoid anything that can trigger the stomach like alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
