Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms are related to acid reflux, I suggest using Baclofen
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
I see that you are already using medications such as Tums and Prilosec to relieve the symptoms.
I recommend to continue using Tums to neutralize the stomach acid.
I also recommend to use Prilosec in the morning before breakfast to block the acid production.
I suggest to add muscle relaxants such as Baclofen three tablets a day to relieve the pain.
I suggest to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms and eat small frequent meals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
