Question : I was diagnosed of Gastritis two months ago, but before then, i have been facing different kinds of feelings like regurgitation, pain at the upper part of my stomach and regular heartburn. I had an endoscopy and i was given drugs to use, i was better. But recently in the last one week, i have been having the heartburn again, this time, when i have heartburn, i will feel dizzy and that will last until i find a way to belch either with antacid or drinking a lot of water, then once i belch, i feel good and dizziness goes away. What can i do.
