Hello. I am diagnosed with antral gastritis and duodenitis positive 3 months before. Took medicines for a month and stopped. Now I feel like mild pain in centre upper abdomen. Having hiccups even if I drink water. Feeling like excess hunger in midnight. Is this due to gastritis or anything serious.
