Different idea here: morning nausea can be caused by morning low blood pressure. Are you checking for that?
And, you may have two issues: the irritation/cramps and maybe then an ensuing nausea, secondary.

When do you take these pills and when relative to going to bed? The stomach cramps can be an irritation from the pills themselves- sometimes a dose change helps or the timing of doses- or from pill form to capsule or liquid. You seem to have been on these long enough that maybe they are starting to wear on your stomach lining. Sometimes, plain crackers and water when you wake. An extra pillow, if you can. (If part of this is reflux, they say elevate the head of the bed.) If allowed, plenty of water when you take them. Burning up the neck, similarly, can be from reflux.

Main thing, someone should take this seriously and see how they can moderate your side effects. As for Zantac, not all reflux meds are effective on all people, no matter what the advertising. Ask about a change.

Not a doctor, just form a family with GERD.

Interesting about the vagus nerves, dmd, and the relation to GERD.
