Hello. Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question very well.
I try my best to help you.
As you are change medicine from losartan to norvasc , which is Calcium channel blocker , which have side effect like gastric acid reflux.
So it is true that this medicine exacerbate your acid reflux.
I suggest you to take antacid tablet along with this.
I hope my advice will help you a lot.
Thanks and Regards.
