I have been using ppi (veloz d) for last 1 months as per doctor's prescription, and all the symptoms of gerd which I had is completely gone. But I am scared about stopping the medicine, like if I stop it how can I stop it more prominent way sothat I don't feel the symptoms. But I tried to stop the medicine for two days, very slight symptoms I faced so I am scared that I need to take it longtime or not. Or I need to take ppi for lifetime?

You do not need to take the PPI for a long time and if you stop it after taking until the symptoms have gone there is no chance for the pain to return

You might need to continue proton pump blocker (like pan d) regularly. Also start taking himcocid (himalaya) 1 tsf twice a day empty stomach for three months.
