HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Stress can worsen the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
There are different families of medications that can be used but the proton pump inhibitors would be the most helpful. This would include medications such as prevacid, prilosec, zegerid, protinix, nexium.
One of these may be available at your local pharmacy. It can sometimes take a few hours to a day to feel the full effect of the medication.
I hope this helps
