After two years medicine isn't working

After two years medicine isn't working

I was diagnosed with GERD and Hiatal Hernia 2 years ago and was put on Zegerid-40mg, 1x before dinner. My symptons responded well to the Zegerid but recently I have begun to belch again, throat issue and nausea. I have to say that my diet had changed for several weeks due to my business travel schedule which I feel contributed to my symptons reoccurring but I am still concerned. I've been back on my GERD way of eating for two weeks and still experiencing the symptons. My gastro doctor can't see me for 4 weeks. My two questions are:
(1) Can the medicine stop being effective and (2) Am I causing more damage having the symptons and taking the Zegerid while I wait to see my doctor?
