Brief Answer:
Repeat test for H pylori, capsule omeprazole
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
Chronic gastritis might be caused by H pylori. It would be better if test for the organism again, before starting the treatment.
Apart from the medication, I would suggest few measures. You first need to avoid spicy, fried or processed food stuff. You need to take more of green leafy vegetables, fruits and fresh juices. Avoid smoking, alcohol and carbonated drinks, even coffee /tea. Reduce the intake of meat. Eat small frequent meals instead of heavy meal. Drink plenty of water.
Medication that I would suggest is capsule omeprazole 20 mg once daily half an hour before breakfast for 15 days. I would not say it will be cured within 15 days, but there should be improvement by two weeks. I would suggest you for follow up after 15 days. I feel with this measures you should be fine.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
As mentioned above with the medicines and with certain measures mentioned above, you should be fine by month.
As you have mentioned about dizziness, I would have checked your blood pressure, and then would have asked for random blood sugar and Haemoglobin estimation, to rule out hypoglycemia and anaemia.

Hello doctor..thank you...on October 2015 I had them checked during the time of endoscopy... it was 100 mg/dl sugar in empty stomach...and 14.1gm/dl haemoglobin......should I have to redo the tests?....at this age of 29 can I have sugar problems?
Brief Answer:
You can repeat, not absolutely required

Hi
Welcome.
Good to hear from you.
As the previous test was within limits, but it is better if check it once, you have mentioned about the dizziness.
Even though less likely to be altered and it you have very rare chance of sugar problems, so relax.
Hope this helps.
