Hi,
I see that you have been taking PPIs for a long time and that now you are very well informed about your condition.
As you may know, stress and anxiety can affect your acid production thus resulting in heartburn and stomach pain.
I would recommend you to not worry about the new drug, as it needs it's time to start working in your body. Take the Pantoprazole for at least one week, and if you still don't see any change, then talk to your doctor. You may need to increase the dose or to switch to another medication like Omeprazole 20mg.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
