Gastritis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back

Scared feeling could be because of work related stress. Here is what he should do

1. Tab Omeprazole once a day before food, this will prevent gastritis
2. Please ask him to take his meals at regular intervals everyday
3. Tab Propranolol can help alleviate stress and that scared feeling. Another good drug for this is alprazolam twice daily
4. It is important that he sleeps atleast 6-8 hours a day
5. Exercising daily for about 45 min can help reduce stress naturally
6. I also advocate yoga for a calm mind

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
