Hello, my husband has had the most horrible breath u can think of. His stomach was having really bad pains but did pass. His bowl movements are loose and smell same as burps. Nothing that he has eaten has caused gastric reflux like this. He takes vicoden for pain. Neurotin for neurapathic pain and zanex for anxiety . Should I take his yo the urgent care..?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
It would not be a urgent issue but yes it could be due to gastric reflex which needs to be treated before he can develop other complications.
I suggest him to take antacids and probiotic capsules after consulting his treating doctor .Also gargling with Chlorhexidine solution will help him combat the bad breath.
Wish you good health.
