Get Endoscopy: Your comment about weakness and headache has me concerned that your reflux could be causing some bleeding into your stomach, causing anemia and irritation to your GI tract. You should ask your physician about getting endoscopy to rule this out.

Should see a GI doc: It is very unusual for a person this age to not able to tolerate food. You should see a GI specialist soon to see why you cannot eat. Many things can cause what you have.
