Suggest Remedy For Halitosis

and i was wondering if you could help me about a problem i'm HIGHLY concerned.
I've had chronic halitosis for 4 years now and don't know why.

     I've been to my primary care clinic; but they only gave me antibiotics. (I've been on three course)-Antibiotics WILL NOT HELP
     Since i though it was a sinus, the doctor gave me several nasal sprays. ( ALSO NO HELP)
     Then i was sent to an ENT surgeon, got a c/t scan and he said my problem was not the sinuses
     I've been to dentist and everything check out too     
     It's not allergies either
     It's also not because of poor dental hygiene, i've tried all the bestest products money can buy and still nothing.
     
     I'm almost depressed every day, and sometimes my head tells me to go jump the Mission Bridge that links to West Salem

     I'm starting to think this problem is coming from the chest/abdominal area (liver, kidney, lungs, gallbladder, ect)

     IS THIS ENOUGH TO GO TO THE ER? SHOULD I GO TO THE ER?
