I'm in my 3rd week of helicobacter treatment and experiencing some heartburn for the first time in my life. is this normal ? how much time does it needs to heal ? ( what should do ? ) 10 days antibiotics , 4 weeks ppi , stomach pain mostly gone)

Tums (calcium carbonate): I would continue the PPI and follow up with the GI specialist as directed to test for cure of the h.pylori. In the meantime, you could take some Tums (calcium carbonate) or Mylanta for the heartburn. If that doesn't help then I would see your doctor or urgent care sooner.

Taking GERD medicine from 2 months but get it again as I skip medicine. New Dr. said LOW STOMACH ACID leads to acid reflux because LES only closes with right amount of acid in stomach. PPis and antacids only lead to further problems. What should I do?
