UGIE is strongly warranted in your case.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your query and concern.
Going your clinical symptoms one by one, they most probably suggest Chronic duodenal ulcer in my opinion, although it needs confirmation.
Since the onset of symptoms, I admit that you have been following good diet, but that's not all enough.
You need specific therapy in the form of PPI's and Anti H.pylori medications.
The 1st is acid suppression therapy and the 2nd is antibiotic therapy to eliminate H.PYLORI, which is a common infectious agent associated/implicated with acid reflux disease and duodenal ulcer.
These drugs provide excellent long term relief and cure.
Please note these drugs should be taken only in presence of strict medical prescription.
The confirmation can be made in the form of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy/UGIE to detect the precise pathology in your stomach.
An ENT consultation and prescribed medication is not enough.
Please post your further queries, if any.
Thank you.
