Brief Answer:
Gastritis and possible GERD

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.

As per your post, you are having erosive gastritis and a possible GERD.
You can take Nexium for relief.

Biopsy from antrum done to look for H.pylori infection.
Biopsy from gastroesophageal junction done to look for Barrett's esophagus. This occurs when there is a long standing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Bravo pH probe is placed to confirm GERD.

Meanwhile you can take Nexium for relief.

I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards,
Dr.Barani.
