Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query!

Answers to your questions are as follow-

1)Yes the taste in your mouth is because of acid reflux,No its not the side effect of nexium.You are having a problem medically termed as GERD(gastro esophageal reflux disorder associated with reflux esophagitis.It is a chronic digestive disease. GERD occurs when stomach acid or, occasionally, stomach content, flows back into your food pipe .The weird taste in this mouth is because of this back flow only.This problem can be associated with heart burn and gastritis also.
Advice
Ask your gastroenterologist to increase the dose of Esomeprazole ,Esomeprazole can be used in dosage as high as 80mg twice daily ,Ask him to add Domepridome 30mg slow release once daily,This will slow down the reflux of acid back and would provide symptomatic relief.An antacid containing local anaesthetic could be added to drug regimen.Acotiamide is a new drug and is very effective in controlling symptoms of GERD and esophagitis.In trials- Acotiamide,a gastrointestinal motility modulator,at a standard dose of 100mg thrice daily has significantly affected esophageal motor functions or gastroesophageal reflux in healthy adults.

2)Yes stress and anxiety increases the symptoms,Over anxiety stimulates the vagal nerve innervating stomach and esophagus,Hence causing increased motality and reflux.Anxiety and stress are associated with increased symptoms.Trials have shown that person with GERD are 4 times more susceptible to acid peptic disorders then a person with normal levels of anxiety and stress.Thats why you feel better on exercising or when you are not nervous.Please ask your doctor to consider adding low dose of anti-anxiety medications like Etizolam for few weeks,This will help you recover much faster.
