Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Common bile duct greater than 7 mm is due to obstruction of CBD by three things.
Stones
tumour
Helminths
I would suggest you MRCP followed by ERCP.
Take Proton Pump inhibitor like esomeprazole 40mg daily for acid reflex.
Hope it helps best.
Take your best care.
