Persistent acidity requiring long term antacids could be an indication for something more serious. The first thing is get an evaluation done. You need to get an ultrasound and an endoscopy done. Probable causes include gall stones, reflux, hiatus hernia and others.
Next Steps
Consult a surgeon and gastroenterologist
