Hello,

Treatment for Helicobacter Pylori depends in which part of world do You live. In the United States the recommended primary therapies for Helicobacter Pylori is PPI (proton pump inhibitor), clarithromycin, amoxicillin and metronidazole for 14 days or PPI, bismuth, metronidazole and tetracycline for 10-14 days. However Helicobacter Pylori is found in about 80% of the world's population.

Some of these symptoms You have described fits to Helicobacter Pylori infection (like: nausea, diarrhea, weight loss), but symptoms like panic feelings, fears, anxiety, worries, depression, tiredness, fatigue, sleepiness shows that the problem is somewhere else. In my opinion You should go to psychiatrist or psychologist and talk about Your worries. You may have depression or anxiety disorder but to be sure You should contact Your doctor. Common treatment options include lifestyle changes, therapy and medications.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
