Answer to Question 1

 The patient's complaints of indigestion and chest pain are symptoms.
 The physician's assessment of epigastric tenderness and heme positive stool also suggest GERD as well as possibly other complications of GERD such as peptic ulcer disease.
 Fried foods worsening the indigestion that he is experiencing is suggestive of compromised LES pressure contributing to GERD

Answer to Question 2

 Helicobacter pylori is a microorganism whose only natural host is the human.
 It is found primarily on the surface of the antrum of the stomach.
 This microorganism has been established to be the most common cause of gastritis and it is estimated that 92 of duodenal ulcers and 70 of gastric ulcers are caused by H. pylori.
 By-products produced by the organism result in damage to the epithelium and impairment of the mucus barrier within the stomach.
