I was sent for endoscopy and was diagnosed with "moderately severe reflex oesophagitis", "gastritis" and "duodinitis". I was treated with omeprazole for several weeks but the thing did not go. I had to discontinue the treatment because I was finding no improvement and the debts were getting out of manageable proportions. Now I still find difficulty in swallowing, but the most publicly embarrassing is the hiccupping and belching. Is this conidition treatable/curable? Or am I going to continue like this? Am I at risk of fatality? …And I experience shortness of breath. Is this related? What about the dizziness, fatigue, tingilng, vertigo and headaches?

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here

The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

As for the gastritis, it depends on the cause. If you have the heliobacter pylori bacteria in your stomach, you may need to be treated with several antibiotics. It can lead to ulcers and other such GI problems. It is the most common bacteria that causes GI problems. The doctor may have taken a biopsy during the endoscopy. Ask him/her if you have the bacteria and what can be done for it. There should be other medications to treat the discomfort of acid reflux as well.
The shortness of breath could explain the other symptoms. You need to speak to your doctor about them. It doesn't seem to be a related issue.
Tell your doctor about all of your concerns so he/she can address all of them.

esophagitis is of course treatable...but if you will not do the treatment because of other financial priorities then of course you will not get better.
If the Omeprazole did not work, then I suggest that you need to consult a different doctor for different treatment, but you have to commit to your own health and the financial burden that represents.
