Hi! Welcome to HCM!
Your problem appears to be Gastr-esophageal reflux disease with suspected hypothryoidism

Reflux of gastric acid from the stomach back into the food pipe (osephagus) causes irritation to the lining of oesophagus resulting in inflammation, nauseating sensation, vomiting sometimes difficulty in swallowing and aspiration of the stomach contents into the airways. Altered bowel habits like constipation, passing hard stools might be due to suspected decrease functioning of thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
Get your thyroid function tests done first.
For the acid reflux, Rabeprazole with Domperidone can be effective and you will have to take these medications for atleast 6 weeks. This combination can also be effective for the relief of constipation.
Upon getting the results of thyroid function tests, you may please contact your GP.
Regards!
