Diagnosed With Gastritus After Endoscopy And Biopsy. Black Stool. Feeling Dizzy. Having Chest Pain And Spasms. Suggest The Treatment?

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Gastritis is a common problem and can be easily treated with the help of medicines and dietary modifications.
You should be able to feel symptomatically better in next 6-8 weeks.
In addition to medicines that you are taking, you also need some strict life style modification like-
Avoid hot and spicy foods and beverages - they worsen symptoms.
If you smoke, stop smoking.
Lose weight if needed.
Eat small but frequent meals at regular intervals.
Avoid lying down immediately after a meal. A minimum of 2-3 hours should be lapsed after a meal.
Raise the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches by securing wood blocks under the bedposts. Just using extra pillows will not help.
Since you are also getting the chest pains and the dizzy spells, I would advise you to consult your cardiologist also for an annual cardiac check to rule out any cardiac causes for your symptoms.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for writing again.
The gastritis that you have could have happened due to the NSAIDS that you have taken for pain. Imipramine is likely to help you. Do continue with the anti ulcer drugs too as prescribed.
Hope my answer is helpful.
