I've been having this chronic dry mouth and really bad breath, so my general physician suggested an Upper G.I Endoscopy and some other tests. Everything else like stool and urine tests came back normal, but the Endoscopy showed I've got mild antral gastritis. I went to see a gastroenterologist and took the prescribed meds for about three weeks, but sadly, there's been no improvement. Can you recommend any medicines or treatments specifically for mild antral gastritis? I'm really looking for some relief here.

Kindly continue the same medicine given by gastroenterologist for one more week if it is still not reduced kindly consult your respective gastroenterologist.

My friend was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome back in 2004 and has been managing it since. Now she's developed gall bladder stones around 6mm, but surgery isn't an option because of her liver complications. What other treatments could help in this situation?
In Budd-Chiari with gallstones, surgery is risky; medications to reduce cholesterol and bile salts like ursodiol may help—monitor with liver team.

I'm feeling something is stuck in my neck and having a lot of gastric problems. I also experience a pins and needles sensation near the sternum area, like there's something inside. There's a headache and a lot of anxiety because of these issues. I've seen many doctors, but nothing seems to help. Im confused and dont know what to do. Some say its anxiety, others say there's nothing wrong. Googling symptoms just makes me feel more depressed. I also have pain in my forehead and back of my neck, and my fingertip pores feel really tight and hurt a bit when I close my hand. Can anyone suggest what might be happening or what I should do next?
Fasting,post prandial and Hba1c tests are advised to the patient.
