Hi sucharita ! You can take nexpro but don't take for too long. Here Some tips for g.e.r.d , like use pillow when sleep, try to lay on your left side, stop taking fried food, take food in small parts and many time. Now about weight gain as female are more prone to weight gain, so do exercise, menses should be regular, and do the thyroid check. I hope my knowledge serves you best. Be happy. Bye.
