Belching,bloating,gas

Hi, I have GERD and IBS, I have had ulcers. Recently I injured my back. I was taking pain meds and began having very bad heartburn in the early morning hours. I discontinued the meds but the heartburn has not stopped. I have to wear a back brace. It is very tight. I have so much belching,bloating, gas and heartburn, I am wondering if this brace is the problem. I started Nexium and I think it helps with the morning GERD but after I take it, I have pain around the breastbone and feel nauseous. Can anyone relate to this or give any advice? I am so miserable, I am becoming quite depressed. Thanks for any help you can give.
