Brief Answer:
life style modifications and basic medications needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the details.

* With further information, I would stick to my previous possibility of
gastritis with anxiety manifestation.

My guidelines as follows

- Control of stress and anxiety which would prove the most essential part of
your recovery.
Meditations and YOGA are prime recovering agents for you, though they
will not give you immediate results but long term sustained benefits will
follow for sure.

- Management of sound regular sleep of minimum 6-7 hours, help from
psychologist or physician is best appreciated.
- Control of weight with exercises and diet modifications which are also
vital for stopping gastritis as
* consume small, frequent meals
* chew food thoroughly
* avoid much of dairy fat, spices, junk foods
* avoid late night dinner
* avoid immediate sleep after meals or dinner

- Prescription of proton pump inhibitor as omeprazole or pantoprazole to be
taken on empty stomach with sips of water about 1 hour prior to lunch or
dinner.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol ( if consuming ).

* In a nut shell, your condition can be best managed with simple
medications and tough life style modifications.
I know it is difficult to manage , but be sure once you are determined to
go ahead, no one can stop you and once you will realize its positive
outcomes, then you will not stop yourself.

And last you have fine English, I appreciate.
Would like to discuss ahead regarding the same.

Thank you.
Wish you great health.
