I've been waking up with small blood spots in my spit, and sometimes there's pink mucus. I was diagnosed with antral gastritis after an endoscopy. My HR CT scans of the neck and chest came back normal. I also deal with acid reflux. The first time I noticed blood, it was after a day of vomiting on an empty stomach, really forceful stuff. An ENT specialist mentioned a tear in my throat might be the cause, and after a while, the bleeding stopped. But now, two months later, it's happening again. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

The recurring blood spots and pink mucus in your spit, despite normal HR CT scans, may be related to your antral gastritis and acid reflux, which can cause stomach acid to flow up into your throat, leading to irritation, minor tears, and bleeding, so consult your gastroenterologist to adjust your acid reflux treatment and consider a follow-up endoscopy to assess your gastritis.

My dad's been dealing with this really painful crunch feeling in his stomach that sometimes moves to his back and ribs. He's tried seeing a lot of doctors, but nothing seems to help much. At first, he was on mabicon, rifagut, rablet, and pregeb M 75, but now he's taking drotin and nexpro 20. Sadly, none of this seems to be working, and the doctors are now suggesting an endoscopy. I'm really worried and was wondering if we should go ahead with the endoscopy or try something else. Are these medicines he's taking okay? Would love to hear your thoughts.
