Dear Vikash Kumar The initial treatment of GERD is conservative i.e. with medicines,taking small frequent meals and sleeping with reclining posture etc. If there is no relief then surgical treatment is adviced where Laparoscopic Fundoplication is done. But before surgery some tests are important like Upper GI endoscopy,24 hrs pH monitoring and oesophagus motility and gastroesophgeal sphincter manometric studies. You will have to continue Tab.Nexium and for deficiency of vitamin B 12 get Inj Neurobion as adviced by your physician.
