The symptoms of gastritis are known to recur in >50% of the patients once they stop medications. Change your lifestyle and dietary habits. Increase physical activity, consider brisk walking or jogging if feasible. Avoid smoking, alcohol, junk food, carbonated drinks. Esomeprazole has safety data of more than four decades, yes it is safe and can be taken if your symptoms persist. But as is true for all medications, it should be taken under a doctor's guidance with prescription.
