    Don't worry as like u so many people have same problem , i also suffered long time but by changing my diet , sleep and water intake i control it. Before half hour to meal take 2 glass of water and then after meal 1 hour later start for taking water . At least take 5 ltr water per day . After taking meal emidiuate sleep and taking so much meal with full of stomach is a main cause of acidity, still you can't change that habit you can't cure from acidity. Take sleep after 2:30 hour of taking meal. Mostly use salad with meal at least one type of salad . Don't consume fruit with meal cause digestive problem or produce gas. Also avoid milk , sweet and dairy product . After cure you will be start all diet with limit or as your body response .

      Hi vishal,

      Were you diagnosed with ulcer?did you heal it? How long did it take?

      I too found that water helps. I used to feel nauseous in morning. But I started drinking water, morning is now great for me.. But cannot say about rest of the day. I will try you suggestion about drinking water before and after meal. Though sleep part is bit difficult due to work.

    Have you eradicated H-pylori? I honestly did not have any symptoms at all but chest pains in my upper left side of my chest. Felt like a sword was driven through my chest constantly. I went to see my doc and she did a breath test on me and I tested positive for it. While being on amoxicillin lansoprazole with pepto bismol for 14 days and it kinda helped. After taking the medication I started to actually have pain right underneath my left rib cage constantly. Each day it kept getting worse. It got to a point where I ended up getting a CT scan done. They found nothing to be wrong with anything. As they call it my organs were unremarkable. Medical term for that was boringly normal. A day or two after i had no symptoms. Weird huh? Then I started to do some research. Apparently radiation from the CT scan relieved my symptoms temporarily. My symptoms very day to day now. one day it will be this thing. the next its another. Ive been scheduled to see a GI doctor soon. What I've read on here I really hope isnt the case with me. I dont want to be sick for years. I wish someone could help shed some light here. Because this has me so scared guys. I cant live like this. Barely able to eat without it hurting. Barely able to do anything. Its no life for me. I have 4 children and all by myself. I have to figure something out. My kids need me.

    Heart issues can stem from a lot of things, anxiety is just one of those many things. I think anxiety needs to be addressed as it would be more problematic than the pylori. You need to confront and break the triggers to anxiety. Anxiety can a lot of time make problems in health worse in many ways.
