Corpus gastritis with H. pylori positivity is a treatable condition. It is not usually life-threatening, but it does require proper treatment, as persistent infection can cause long-term problems like ulcers or, rarely, complications if left untreated. The good news is that with appropriate medicines (a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing drugs), H. pylori can usually be completely eradicated, and your symptoms should gradually improve. Your anxiety is understandable, but this is a common condition and responds well to treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a gastroenterologist/physician for starting H. pylori eradication therapy (triple or quadruple therapy for 10–14 days, as prescribed).
Complete the full course of medicines without missing doses.
Follow-up test (breath test/stool antigen test) may be advised after treatment to confirm eradication.
Avoid self-medication and overuse of painkillers, as they may worsen gastritis.
Health Tips
Eat smaller, frequent meals; avoid spicy, oily, and very hot foods.
Reduce tea, coffee, alcohol, and smoking if applicable.
Manage stress and get adequate sleep, as anxiety can worsen symptoms.
Do not worry excessively — this condition is common and usually resolves well with proper treatment.
