Hello
Medicines are usually not helpful in gall badder calculus.
You should go for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
Gall bladder calculus is prone to infection and obstruction,so it is advised to get rid of calculus early.
Your may also need upper GI endoscopy.GERD need proper evaluation.You may need biopsy and more medicines for GERD.
Get well soon.
