Brief Answer:
HELLO Mr SUbrahmanyam
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.
I understand your concern.
Well bad smell or halitosis is unusual due to stomach issues.
Most commonly it is because of poor oral hygiene,
Dental caries or gum inflammation.
To rule out these causes first you need to visit a dentist and ensure ruling out dental problems.
Stomach problems which can cause bad breath are usually in setting of a hiatus hernia ( lax valve which prevents regurgitation of stomach contents into esophagus) or gastric outlet obstruction (narrowing of stomach outlet) leading to stasis of its contents. Rarely it can be caused by stasis of food content in esophagus in a condition called achalasia cardiac. But these conditions are rare and usually associated with lot of other symptoms
Like nausea, vomiting, difficulty in swallowing which you do not have.
So even after dental treatment you are not better then can consider getting an endoscopy done to rule out above mentioned causes.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you a speedy recovery.
Happy to help.

Hi,
Thank you for the query.
Well if you want a genuine advise and if you really want to get better you need to visit a psychiatrist at earliest.
I agree you may not like my suggestion at all but trust me we are all your friends and not enemies.
Will advise you what I feel is good for you and not what pleases you.
There is no medicine which can cure this instantly.
Some medications may help to cope up with the problem.
Best wishes.
