Brief Answer:
Motility enhancers like domperidone will be helpful.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. For your Gerd symptoms you need motility enhancers like domperidone along with Nexium. You can also apply hot water bags on abdomen. Taking antacids with anesthetic like machine gel will be helpful to get relief from it faster.

Do you have abdominal pain. ?
Is this stimulated by taking certain foods like fatty foods. ?

Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
