I somehow feel that many so-called patients of GERD (especially those between the ages of 20 and 30 years). are the victims of Googlo-phobia.
Please consult a Gastroenterologist in your area. First be sure that you need the treatment.

Your symptoms point towards rebound acid hypersecretion.its a condition seen in patients after abrupt stopping prolonged treatment with a PPI.
Symptoms of RAHS may include heartburn, regurgitation or dyspepsia.
These symptoms can last about 2 weeks.
That's the reason people on prolonged PPI treatment are advised to reduce the dose and stop gradually.
