First and foremost is it avoid things which aggravate symptoms , mainly smoking, high calorie spicy food, late night dinners, alcohol and inadequate sleep and obviously sedentary lifestyle. If you have any of this than no drug will be 100% effective.
Next Steps
Get an Upper GI endoscopy , USG abdomen

If you are not able to get off the medications then it is time to evaluate further and do investigations to find out the cause for acidity.
Next Steps
You should see me once the lockdown is over so that a clinical evaluation can be done and investigations can be advised.
Health Tips
Until then please dont have very spicy food and avoid too much oil. Continue with the medications whenever there is acidity
