My GI said that I've developed GERD after h.pylori eradication, but I don't feel burning sensation in chest or acidic taste in mouth, just occasionaly burning sensation in upper abdominal. This could be because of antral inflammation.

yea, we certainly dont want to see esophageal cancer. so it would be better to keep your acid low to protect your throat.

I also get the burning sensation, flare ups, and episodes of nausea.

I was on Rabeprazole 20 mg for 3 weeks and stopped It yesterday because side effects: stomach aches and gnawing pain. I don't want to take PPIS anymore, they reduce burning sensations but I get stomach aches while on PPIS. I get used to burning sensations.

Fair fair. I've been on Protonix for almost a month now. I have my good days and I have my really bad days when it comes to the gastritis/nausea. I will probably try doing 2 months on, then ween off, then another 2-3 months on, etc. etc.

My GI said he's had patients on these things for 20+ years I'm hoping I can also stop taking these because of long term side-effects, but at least "long term" seems to be decades long.

For how long GERD last after h.pylori eradication? I stopped Rabeprazole after 3 weeks intake and 3 days later developed massive burning sensation in upper abdominal and chest. Could be this acid rebound effect or just GERD symptoms?

tough question. Unfortunately that's very subjective. Everyone is different. I know someone who recover within weeks and someone who still have it after many years.
