Thanks for your question. Judging by your Nexium prescription, it sounds like your doctor thinks the cause may be acid reflux. Perhaps you may find this list of GERD prevention tips helpful.
Getting of the GERD track, you may want to try using this symptom checker. It can provide some good background information, but should not be substituted for the advise of a doctor. I hope this helps.

Dizziness could be caused by an inner ear infection... labyrinthitis. I've had it before and it is awful. Antibiotics and meclizine helped. Mothball taste could be caused by a sinus infection... perhaps you had both a sinus and inner ear problem? Hope it cleared up... if not see your doctor and ask them to check for infections. Good Luck!
